Holly Selig commented on SewCal Gal's group Free Motion Quilting on a Domestic Sewing Machine"Just an FYI update on the multi-diamond motif. I tried on a few scraps to do the whole design. The little ones were just out of my experience. So I re-drew the design to include just the center diamonds. That part is finished and I am now working on…"

Hi Holly, try tracing this .Start with outside of lowest diamond, just rt. of top peak. Left up to peak, down left,pivot, pivot at bot.,up rt. lower,pivot,up to crossing line.Pivot, down left JUST to reach inside of same diamond.Slant rt. going on inside of diamond,(opposite way) pivot at points,and stop at first intersection where middle diamond crosses. Jog down along lower outer pt. of this diam., then pivot at it's bottom, then go up rt. outer side of it JUST until you get to intersection of where top diamond crosses. Pivot, (leave mid. diam.) proceed up & rt. along outer top diamond, pivoting at corners, go around until you reach intersection.Stop, pivot, go up short way to reach innertop diamond. Go around inner top,(opposite direction) go past first intersection to the one where you reach second diamond's inner top. STOP & BACKTRACK to first intersection, Stop, pivot, go up peak (of mid. diamond), pivot & continue down left outer middle diamond to first intersection (with lower diamond). Stop. Pivot, go up & rt.JUST to inner part of this middle diamond (inside left) . Continue up to first intersection (where you were before), Stop, pivot go down to point (which is part of top diamond), pivot, jog up to first intersection,. Stop, pivot, go down rt. inner leg of mid. diam. past where you started, & end at second intersection. Done.Sorry I can't scan my sketch, but I found this to be the way with the least backtracks. Use same path for the squares.I must say this has been an excersise in verbal communication, I much prefer sketches:)

Currently working on a king quilt block style Bachelors Puzzle. This is the first time I am working with HST's and they are hard! Matching the points is one heck of a challenge. Thank goodness I currently have the available time to work on it.
