Diamonds are forever tumbling (DFT from now on please)

 Diamonds are forever tumbling (DFT)

I was trying to make a tumbling block for Sharon Boggons' Stitch-along over on pin tangle 

but the single block  she uses is 6x8" and is too big for me to make look right  

This is where this block started life and

I think we can all agree it's a mess


This is my newly configured first block

and apart from being a bit blobby, for me and my style it's much better




v This is how I have decided to take care of that wonky middle seem

It's a cheat but it works fairly well

Just take a piece of lace or ribbon and cover it up

Problem solved.

Yay!

it is going to be part of my contribution to the CQJP 

once my lampbox project is done mayish, this project will take over 

but I wanted something I could bang away at and follow along with between times

Hammering out any kinks along the way


so here's the block so far, I will pepper in a few pictures hear and there as I make progress on this one

I'm taking my time, it's going to be a slow burner anyway

hopefully when I reach the point of giving it my whole attention 

It will be smooth sailing for the rest of it


I haven't sketched any of this out yet as the project it's self is in the "fuck around and find out" stage
