Default Uh oh

The game of what would you do? is big fun. I really enjoyed playing and the
whole thread should be required reading for everybody that can possibly
scrape up the time to consider every answer.
Now. As you to your question. I love your block. I do dearly love it.
Tell us about it. Where does it come from and how difficult was it to do?
I don't have a clue what you need to do next but I surely do enjoy
looking at your block. Polly

Does anyone feel up to another game of what would you do?
This isn't exactly the effect the pattern called for but I found
as I turned it around that I kind of liked the the way this looks:

My problem is, I don't have any idea how to proceed from this point
using the same three colors. Tumbling blocks come to mind, but also
maybe more of the same diamond effects? I'm kind of stumped and this
is the _first_ diamond pattern I've ever done so I'm hesitant to get
too complicated of a pattern going.
The block is rather large, @ 19" square once it's sewn together so
I'm afraid it will look silly I repeat it as it's only going to be
a lap size quilt and there'd only be room for no more than 4 of
these on it.

I'm very open to suggestions as to what you would do next with this.

Me too, I have to put a great deal of thought to this kind of thing. I
usually will lay the pieces on the floor and pretend I am working a big
jigsaw puzzle adding scraps here and there until it develops into something.
the block is beautiful to be sure. I love her colors too.
