Thanks Rubes

It's lovely Lowena. Looks like you got your mojo back. Isn't it great when that happens? 

[Lowena]

Thanks @supergran it certainly is

I have now done 8 of the 14 blocks needed for the next quadrant of my quilt....and........I'm flagging a bit 
I would dearly love some other Darksiders to join in and start to make this quilt and then we could have a moan together about Elizabeth Hartman and her bl***y diagonal seams 
Seriously, it's a really good project ... so good I'm looking forward to doing the Ocean and Desert ones......... eventually

we could have a moan together about Elizabeth Hartman and her bl***y diagonal seams 

Doing last year's BOM s was a good exercise because it made me realise that I'm not a huge fan of diagonal seams.  I wouldn't avoid them bit I would steer clear of something that was triangle heavy.

These are not triangles @Ploshkin  but like the Flying Geese block where you put one shape on top of another, sew diagonally and then cut off the excess bits of fabric......about 80% of each block is made up of such joins

That is beautiful! I’ve seen that pattern and saved it to my Pinterest, but I’m too mean to buy patterns , I’m afraid. I just save them for future inspiration. It does look very tricky, so well done!
