On the weekend I did lay out the diamond hexagon quilt to be pinned for quilting. This process takes a while. It's a bit hard on the back and legs, but I find it's the best way to baste a quilt.
Above I took a picture when I was about a quarter of the way through basting the quilt. The picture below is a close up of the diamonds and the individual hexagons.
Wow, I tell you!!! This hexagon quilt is so amazing with the variety of scraps. It is a true history of fabrics available through various time frames. This person's stash was deep. She must of had some scraps from a previous generation. Maybe some hand me downs, that sort of thing, or maybe even sharing fabrics amongst friends, because as I said earlier, the variety is amazing.
So now this quilt is all rolled up, basted and ready to start quilting, whenever I get a chance.
In the meantime, I started working on the binding for the strip quilt. One side completed already. I also attached the binding to the Midnight flight quilt today. Once I am done the strip quilt, I will start on the Midnight flight quilt. I am on a roll and wanting to keep the momentum going.
