Broken Diamonds

I have lost my note, and don't remember where I saw this pattern. I THINK in a magazine....might have come from someone here on MQR.  Don't remember the pattern or quilt name...so made one up. the mind is a terrible thing to lose. haha  It hasn't been too long in the making...several months.

It is about 72x87. it is all ruler work and i was sick of it before i got half finished. i have no patience any more these days. so, it lived on the frame for way too long. and there are a few thread bobbles on the back that i didn't catch until it was finished....so, they stay, too. I'll find it a home. .... somewhere.

The border is a dark brown. I am trying to catch up on my growing piles of scraps. My favorite quilts to piece these days are those that take hundreds of scraps. hahaha  And there are still so many scraps left that I could start a bonfire and burn down a small village.

Some of these fabrics have been around for years....and been in many quilts.....how are there still pieces left?????

When I started, the ruler work seemed like the thing to do....after a couple of rows I was wishing i had done a panto.
