Add some Starfish and Diamonds

Today I worked on the seahorses again.  I made another center for the flower (from fabric in my stash).  I like this one much better.



Prepared a bunch of starfish appliqués to circle around my seahorses



Prepared the other parts of the shell appliqués







Got out the "GO" cutter and cut out a bunch of "peaky &  Spike" block parts



That made lots of these



Which then made lots of these



So, add today's work to what I did yesterday and I have a pretty good start on this quilt!

I even cut some drunkards path blocks out using my "GO" die.  I tell you, the strip dies are nice, as are all the others; but the real bonus to me about the "GO" cutter are the dies like "Peaky & Spike" and the Drunkards Path that you would normally have to use templates for cutting.  This is soooo much easier and faster.
