Chained Together

I'm so happy that I finally figured everything out with my Diamond Chains Quilt Along quilt.  Melinda was sweet enough to come up with a couple of ideas for finishing the center of my quilt (since the purple fabric I needed has disappeared off the face of the buyer's market).  Here are 2 different ideas she gave me:

I loved them both.  I took in consideration what fabric I had left and this is what I came up with.....

I really love how it turned out- I actually like it even better with the inner-border.  Here's the back:  I used some of the extra triangle pieces to make a row of pinwheels.  That's my favorite part (even the picture doesn't show them very well).  The purple is one of the purchases I made that is very similar but not the same as the front, so it worked perfectly for the back.

Hopefully I can get this layered and pinned together this weekend.  Yay!
