I agree with Heather (on all things basically) that some hand quilting would turn it in to a gorgeous wall hanging. and even though it doesn't scream holly jolly, I think it would be really fun for christmas.Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00909312890664785719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589061946117615998.post-88099209602854084172012-09-12T07:57:25.288-05:002012-09-12T07:57:25.288-05:00Thanks Cat!

I have never made a string block or sewn with diamonds, and I've only done a couple of things with foundation piecing. Go you for leaping in and learning a whole heap of new techniques!! <br /><br />I'd go the wall-hanging, so you can see it all the time, and it will complement the Texas one you made alreadycat and vee xoxohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01740352837418442644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589061946117615998.post-11709482870869753332012-09-11T17:34:57.801-05:002012-09-11T17:34:57.801-05:00Thanks!

I like the color scheme of your block. It looks like you did a really great job of lining up all of your seams. If not a wall hanging, perhaps a pillow. You could add a border all around if it's not large enough.Longvacationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16214535360839953132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589061946117615998.post-74647705772128860172012-09-11T13:07:54.237-05:002012-09-11T13:07:54.237-05:00Thank you Shannon!

Your points look really nice, it looks like you have plenty of space around the outer edge for the seam allowance. That's always my problem when I piece things, I never get the seam allowances right and the points get chopped off!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12464425603323257233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589061946117615998.post-20460984472488321572012-09-11T10:22:11.188-05:002012-09-11T10:22:11.188-05:00I love your tips, thanks Heather!I love your tips, thanks Heather!Kristanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09040291100834004406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589061946117615998.post-63506109484943621212012-09-11T10:17:00.385-05:002012-09-11T10:17:00.385-05:00Wow, just lovely!

Thanks also for the sweet comment on my blog about the passport holder. One little word of advice if you make the pattern. Both versions - the 4 pocket one and especially the 6 pocket one - end up quite bulky by the last few steps of the project so make Heather D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07536310683899818314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589061946117615998.post-74393117230436374542012-09-11T08:11:22.124-05:002012-09-11T08:11:22.124-05:00Thanks Kati!Thanks Kati!Kristanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09040291100834004406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589061946117615998.post-20256828679655689782012-09-11T08:07:12.838-05:002012-09-11T08:07:12.838-05:00It's a beautiful block you made!
