WIP Wednesday - slowly slowly

I've been working on my Aviatrix Medallion over the last week. Having finally settled on my fabric choices I have been slowly, slowly, cutting out all the pieces. There are a lot of pieces. I enjoy cutting (tragic, I know) when I have time and space to work through it all methodically. Elizabeth's instructions are super clear and I was able to work slowly through the list and organise everything into little ziplock bags. 




Last night I laid out my centre star. I've never worked with diamonds before and these ones are pretty tiny (just 1 3/8" ) so it all felt a bit confusing. I've not quite settled on my layout yet so I plan to piece the single coloured points together first then take another look.




I managed to do one quickly this morning while the baby played. I have to admit, I don't think I have it in me to mark dots on 100s of tiny pieces so I eyeballed it. The points aren't perfect, but it looks okay. We will see how it goes on ...




Linking up with Lee from Freshly Pieced for WIP Wednesday.

    Your diamonds look great! I love this color palette, and I'm totally jealous! I really wish I was making this quilt right now! (But too many others in the works, you know?) Good luck! :)

    Oooh I LOVE this! I think your arrangement looks quite good, and that finished gold point is fab. Eye spy my fav--Carolyn Friedlander's botanics! I'm hoping to work that into my next quilt, too!
