Summer Sampler 2016 Block 13: Diamond Ladder

This week's Summer Sampler block! It's a skill-builder block, courtesy of Faith at Fresh Lemons Quilts.

Half-square triangles and a few flying geese—that's it! But of course those are both units that you see in quilt designs over and over again, so it's always good to get in some more practice.

And somehow, these simple shapes add up to a unique design. One of the things I love so much about a block like this!
