Question: I loved the chart you made for the 9 piece diamond, could you possibly do one for the 7 or 11 on plain white paper, no shading? I love to use colored pencils to approximate my fabric so I can see it ahead of time. Please, please!

I have been off line for a while on this blog but am back. A bed size quilt would take probably two weeks to make for me but that is also working on other projects as well. The piecing goes quickly because of the strips but the quilting takes time.

I promised a friend I'd make one for her wedding, which is in October. I am worried I won't be able to complete it on time.
