Between 11/11/11 feasting, appreciating corduroy, completion of the Totoro Quilt, (on top of my normal daily obligations including driving in circles, proofreading and correcting homework, keeping family members from sugar crashing, volunteering, and dog wrangling, to name a few) I decided that I needed to challenge myself with a quilt with diamond shaped pieces and exacting seam matching.

All that improv piecing and corduroy quilting had me approximating a whole lot. Sometimes a quilter needs to balance things out.
