I chose scrappy red and yellow fabrics from my stash specifically with my SIL in mind since I gave this to her and my brother. I tried out several arrangements with the yellow diamonds before deciding on the stripes. I liked the simplicity of the stripes. This quilt has already been shipped off to live in Boston with my brother and his little family. We have their name for Christmas, and my siblings know when we have their name for Christmas, they get a quilt. Boston gets COLD in the winter so I backed this one with minky to make it a great cuddle quilt. The final size of this quilt is about 57” x 75”. The diamonds are cut from 4” strips as shown in this tutorial.
This is wonderful, Kati! I love how you did the stripes of yellow.
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to make a quilt with diamonds for a while, but it just keeps getting pushed down the list :)
Oooooh! Pretty! Warm and bright to fight those cold, gray Boston days. I don't see how you could help being anything but cheered up with that quilt.
ReplyDeleteNo doubt they love it! I love the bright red and yellow together.
ReplyDeleteLove the colors, Kati! Bright and fun!
ReplyDeleteI just want to smoosh my face in the last pic.
ReplyDeleteLove it Kati. I'm sure it was fun to make and that your family will love it.

ReplyDeleteLike a snuggly fire - which is probably not the best description to use in front of the kids.
ReplyDeleteI live very near Boston. I could use a beautiful quilt like that. :) I am tempted to put aside my holiday sewing and make one for myself.
ReplyDeleteOh that looks gorgeously snuggly with the minky! I'm hoping to get to my diamonds to make a cushion for my mum for Christmas
ReplyDeleteLove it, love it love it!
ReplyDeleteOh, this is so pretty. I would have loved to take an angle class - they are so frustrating

ReplyDeleteSuper fun! Guess who is shopping for a sewing machine?!? :) Hans is getting me one for Christmas and there is this thing in town where a store has come down and I am down to three options! I'm going to sleep on it and should have one by the weekend! :) Look out! :)
ReplyDeleteLove this one, Katie
ReplyDeleteHi Katie,
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you had a tutorial written up on the the diamonds. I was at Sewing Summit... but can not remember what to do!
