The setting squares have all been made and attached, and the outer diamonds have been made and attached. Where do I go from here?
In order to make this quilt square, four corner pieces are needed. Four gigantic triangles. And I'm faced with the same problem as I had with the inset squares--what to do with all that space?
I've been playing in EQ, drawing sunbursts, which would need huge enlargement and would be paper pieced. Is this what I want to do? Or I could continue with the star and chain blocks I used for the inset squares.
Lurking in the distance is the fact that the addition of the big triangles will bring this quilt only to about 100" square. ONLY?? Well, the quilt is for a queen-sized bed, and I like a nice generous drop. The quilt needs to be bigger than 100" square.
Which means....this quilt is going to need BORDERS. Much planning and piecing remains. In other words, the light is no where near appearing at the end of this particular tunnel.

I absolutely love your quilt and it certainly is stunning! I don't know what to add to this but perhaps something with black, white or gold and a little red and green (to offset the white blocks). I think you have created a monster quilt but so worth it. Gorgeous!!!
holy poop! only 100"?!?! and also, have you seen what you made already so far?!? i just swooned.
Kathie, The quilt is absolutely amazing! I can honestly say that I will never have the wherewithal to even attempt what you have done. It is definitely a show stopper!

A stunning color palette and workmanship. Don't take any shortcuts now...it deserves a smashing finish. BRAVA!
Absolutely beautiful work. The colours and the pattern are stunning and at 100" ...well that's pretty stunning too!
This quilt is absolutely spectacular! I look forward to seeing how to square it up and finish it. Just stunning...
