I've had an idea brewing in my head for quite some time now involving a fair amount of pretty teensy paper piecing. So this ~4", 96-piece
diamond {centered in a gray (yes, with an "a"!) dresden} is something of a test run to see whether I'll be able to manage the task without going completely mad.
...Jury's still deliberating.

Paper Piecing Party. If I do decide to carry out this idea (rationality is hardly my strong suit when it comes to creative endeavors), I'm guessing she'll have to set up a cot for this party guest ;)
WOW. I thought it was GIANT from the thumbnail pic, and then clicked through to find out it's tiny! It's amazing. :)
ReplyDelete96 pieces in 4 inches!! You are a crazy person. :) It is eye catching though.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! What an accomplishment!! Love it :)
ReplyDeleteWow! This is stunning but yes, I think I would lose my mind doing all that paper piecing!
ReplyDeleteDid you mean to say 'grey' ;-)
ReplyDeleteAs an admirer of teeny tiny piecing, and grey-on-grey, and monochromatic schemes, and colour gradients, you are ticking off a TON of happy swoon boxes for me here... Holy cow, I totally love it. And completely understand if you have no desire to pursue it further but WOW. I am stunned into not using a single exclamation point. Wow.
ReplyDeleteOohhh it would be amazing! The greys are so pretty ;)
ReplyDeleteAh fabulous grays!
ReplyDeleteVery impressed by the centre of that block!

I'm staring at it and I have no idea what's going on. WOW!
ReplyDeleteUm all I can say is absolutely stunning! It looks incredible Sarah - I think it might be worth pushing the bounds of madness to make a whole quilt like it.
ReplyDeleteThat is just drop dead gorgeous. You have outdone yourself!! I can't stop looking at it!
ReplyDeleteDang, you are nuts!! In a really good way! That's definitely a stunner!!
ReplyDeletewhoa girl! That block is ahhh-mazing! That diamond center looks so cool with all of the "facets."

Absolutely stunning!!! Teeny tiny paper piecing but it looks just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreat star! That tiny little paper piecing must have been tedious!
ReplyDeleteThose pieces ARE tiny! Looks good. Will you do them all gray or in different colors?
ReplyDeleteLove the gray Sarah!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow!! If you decide to make a full quilt (which would be amazing!!) i'll gladly make a block or two for you! You know i love me some scandalous shades of "grey"!
ReplyDeleteWow, you're MAD! Absolutely bloody brilliant though. Love all that grey and the combination of the diamond prism and the Dresden. Such beauty.
ReplyDeleteWhoah, 4"? And you're going to make a whole quilt's worth, maybe? That is hardcore! I really love this pattern, though, and the grays look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteTHat is a TON of piecing!! I think it looks great in the gray!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely completely gorgeous!!! A good kind of crazy :)
