I have the layout the same width as the photo in the book (click on link and then scroll down)
but Kaffe's diamonds are a little larger than mine so I may need to go one diamond wider. Right now this would only be 46.5" wide. If I add one row in width it will be 54.25". It takes half diamonds to fill in all around the edges but I should be able to just border them on 2 sides before I slice them 1/4" away from the center line. I need to add one row of light bordered diamonds on the bottom to have it 66.25" long. If I add an additional row it will be 79.5". The next decision, should it be a wallhanging instead of a couch throw quilt?
I see that I have 2 with the same fabric as centers in the third row down so I need to change that.
I could really go crazy and make it a twin bed size too, but is it that much fun to do? Or am I ready to move on? Stay tuned...
