I taped a piece of Floriani fusible to some thin card and printed out the page of diamond shapes from part 2 of the pattern (you need 2 copies of page 27 for this border)
a quick check to make sure they do measure 1 1/2" ...
and I was ready to iron the cut out diamonds to the back of my chosen fabrics. I always save odd scraps, you never know when you can use them - a quilt like this with lots of small pieces is perfect for using even the smallest scraps
Once you get into the rhythm it goes really fast, I am using 40 different fabrics.
I love my rotating cutting board for cutting small pieces like these, I use a 6" 'add-a-quarter' ruler and my small rotary cutter to add the seam allowance to each shape as I cut it out.
I will hand piece these and then appliqué the border to the centre square. Jane has described the next part very clearly in her blog post HERE.
I have no idea how much stitching I will get done, it depends on how much wine I consume :p but I like to have plenty with me just in case!
