Back to the some paper piecing

Today my mom had her congestive heart failure check up. 

When Mom or Dad have a doctor appointment in Tulsa I'm usually away from the house for 6  to 7 hours. Makes for a long day.

 Her appointment went well, she's maintaining which is good. 

I always take some sort of handwork with me when I go to the doctors appointments and today I did not have a small crochet project I'm working on so I picked the bag with my hexagon Diamonds that I've been working on for the past 2 years 

I started this project  almost two years ago when we went to Houston Texas to MDAnderson Hospital for my mom's cancer diagnosed at that time.

 I have seen this picture online on Pinterest and just loved this quilt and I thought well I'll just start this.

 I had not taken anything with me because we thought it was going to be a short trip, well we ended up being there for a month. So I went by a quilt shop and picked up some charm packs and some paper hexagon to start working on this paper piece project

I have quite a few of the diamonds made

Made the outer row of hexagons in this Grey grunge, well after a while I realized that some of the fabrics were too close in tone to the gray I was using. You could see it in a photo a lot better than you could just up on the wall. That's when I decided I needed to change up some of the outer hexies

I decided then to change the outer hexagons on the diamonds to a beige color of the grunge. so after ripping off some of the gray to replace it with the beige I've been putting them back on as beige and so today that's what I was working on.

 Now heaven knows how long this will take me to finish seeing how  I started this in May of 2017 and here it is January 2019.

I maybe have a quarter to a third of the diamonds completed, so needless to say this will take awhile.

Plus I'm not sure if I will do the same lay out I liked because of using two colors for outer ring.
