Ahem -- so here's one of those infamous 'squirrel' projects that seems to have (re)captured my attention.
This project is based on the re-creation of an antique sampler quilt from Pennsylvania. I bought the book and template for the Lancaster Diamond Sampler Quilt several years ago, and even had a full set of fabrics pulled, organized into a project tub, and ready to go. But the inclination faded from my radar for some reason, and then we moved, etc. etc., so this stuff has been in 'remote parking' in my stash for years already.
Just recently the author, Ann Holt, announced a Lancaster Diamond quilt-along on Instagram beginning in January. And since I have everything ready and waiting ... why not? I enjoy the challenge of complicated piecing. I'll go ahead with my original tub full traditional calicoes, but don't plan to include pinks in my version, although the actual antique quilt is very pink. And I'll be aiming for a smaller project than the 170+ blocks in the antique original.

Oh my - that quilt looks complicated!!!! Another project I'm going to be following with interest (but not enough that I would ever try it myself!)
