A girl's best friend?

In a word, no. If I ever get the idea to do a quilt of diamonds again, someone shoot me. I'm sure this is not how I laid it out in the first place (it was more symmetrical). And I somehow managed to get two of the same purple next to one another - but you know what? It's not going to be moved. It looks fine, and it's staying this way. Next step is a thin border around the outside edge - not sure what colour. I am contemplating black (there is quite a lot of black in the outer teal print, though it may not show in this picture), though of course orange, teal and purple are options. I have ordered this batik from equilter to be the outer border - if it doesn't quite work (though it looks like it will, as it has purple and blue both in it), it's gorgeous anyway so I'm sure I'll find a use for it...

I did also do a little work on the TM4 quilt, but of course, can't show any pictures. I will say that I'm going to start with a freeform word (yes, a word - a short one!), and then put some simple friendship stars around that. I don't think I will go medallion with the entire quilt, but who knows at this point. I can also say, there will be some applique in the quilt, and some little houses, I think. As well as some funky bits and pieces - the fabric I have is fairly bright and demands funky, I think...
