Diamond Quilt - an update

So, an update is required. I can't believe that I can actually write this, but I have completed the quilt top. It has been a long, but pleasurable slog and I have actually enjoyed the English Paper Piecing process.  It was really daunting to begin with but ended up being a fairly straightforward process and it felt like sections were quite quick to piece together.

I have also made the binding. The binding is made up of lots of different fabrics, most (all but one) of which can be found in the actual quilt top. As I was ironing the binding and winding it up I really liked the combination of colours and couldn't resist taking a few photos.

Next I will be basting and quilting the quilt. I've given myself a couple of weeks to do this, but I'm not sure how realistic this will be with a toddler who is now walking (well taking the odd step) to entertain.
