Quiltmaker's 1,000 Blocks: Week 3

I'm back with the 3rd block from one of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks magazines. Today I feature what I call Divided Diamonds. I used the Normandy Collection from Benartex. I'm not usually fond of browns, but this group of fabrics is an exception.

This appeared in Volume 6 of the magazine.

Here is my block as submitted. I used a circle for the center. This is a real block and not a digital rendition. It is paper pieced in four sections and then set into the curved background.

I made another one and used triangles to finish the center:

I created two digital renditions of projects. First, the four block quilt. Rather predictable assembly, right?

Now for a Three Block Runner. Who says the blocks have to be like little ducks in the row?

Can I show you another quilt I made for Benartex with these fabrics? Please say "yes"!
This appeared in a Fons and Porter magazine a few years ago. It uses my Fleur de Lis applique pattern.

And then I used these fabrics to make my Hosannah Quilt that appears in my book "Paper Piecing Perfect Points."

I hope you've enjoyed seeing some brown quilts! Thanks for stopping by. One more post next week with my 4th block from the book: Quiltmaker's 1,000 Blocks!
