The first of many amethysts to spoil the birthday girl. Now if only I could actually get this done in the month of February ;)
Edited to add: This is a paper-pieced pattern that I've had in the back of my mind for quite some time now. After finally coming up with a layout that was (1) less intimidating than a flawlessly faceted princess cut yet (2) still abstractly identifiable (I hope?) as a gemstone (albeit an imperfect one!), I decided to put the pattern to the test with a stack of eight purple solids ranging from lavender to eggplant. One down, eleven to go ;)
