I'm Blue ..... dabu de dabu da (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68ugkg9RePc)

I am having a break from work for the week, and trying to finish off a few projects.  This one was waiting for the borders, but I had to faff about a bit, to get the right look at the corners.  I don't often name my quilts, but this one has been called "Blue Eyed Boy" even before I started it.  Its for my son, probably for xmas.   I used the left over 1/2 square triangles, after making the diamonds in the middle of the blocks, to make the zigzaggy corners.

Lovely @datcat23  :D, the zigzag corners look good: clever use of the HSTs. 
The quilt underneath looks interesting too!   0_0

Just for you Sheilago ........ the quilt underneath is an embroidered quilt that I bought as an unfinished project, just a stack of cat hair covered blocks.  I used the MSQC tute  to put them together as a QAYG quilt.  Its not quite big enough to fit the queen bed .... just as a topper.

Both the blue beauty and the qayg quilt are lovely!
