Done, note written, everything packed up with foam and packing peanuts and due to be mailed tomorrow. Yay!
The diagonal quilting isn't all that obvious, but if you are curious, I mocked it up (the pale yellow lines) here. The ditch stitching (=quilting in the seam line) isn't supposed to be visible, so the fact that it isn't is a good thing ;)
You know, it's funny... going in, I was kind of dreading doing the ditch stitching, as even little inaccuracies are so obvious. But with all of the ditch stitching I needed to do on this quilt (around each of the photos, between the body of the quilt and the first border, between the grey and brown borders), I started to get fairly comfortable with it. So I am now kind of looking forward to the idea of doing more going forward!

So you did the diagonal diamond-shaped quilting, but ALSO stiched around the seams of each square? I don't know the lingo...
What a huge effort! I must say, Steph, it came out perfect. It looks absolutely gorgeous.
Sorry, I know I wasn't very clear!
I marked in red all the places where I stitched through all of the layers.
(This is the part that is actually referred to as quilting, by the way!)
