Now that the holiday hubbub has been put away for another year, I'm happy to be back out in the studio. I have several ideas that I'm excited about launching.
To begin with, I started piecing the first few Lancaster Diamond blocks using my tub full of traditional calicoes.

These blocks are not difficult -- the original quilt was a learning sampler, so reinterpretations can be casual rather than precisely exact. The pieces are small, some of the strips are only 1/2"! It seems as if the girl making the original blocks was using up scraps that didn't always fit together evenly -- I see that she did lots of filling in with extra little bits. This will be a nice slow comfortable project. I'm aiming for a mid-year completion

Beautiful!
You have a good start on your Lancaster project. I'm liking that you're going scrappy.
