Measuring 33" x 34.5", I am absolutely thrilled to have leftover diamonds gone from the scrap bag!
Quilting uses an aqua variegated thread,
with simple stitching in the ditch, continuing into points in the blue sashing. For me, any more quilting would have detracted from the bold piecing design.
The back is a center pieced paisley print, using more yardage out of the stash - woohoo!
If you ever have the desire to stitch some diamond chevrons, tips on the process can be found on my post Diamonds - Chevron style.
Now to add a hanging sleeve, and find a wall to hang it. And yes, I still have a ton of aqua scraps to use. It's anyone's guess as to when I'll get to them!
Happy Quilting!
Perfect quilting! And what a nice finish for this project - beautiful! Scraps just don't seem to go away, do they?
ReplyDeleteI love this! Unusual shapes, dynamic quilting, gorgeous colors. Beautiful, Susan!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I love the way the color fades away too. Well done.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteThis is really lovely, and the colors are really rich and beautiful. I don't typically like chevons, but I love this! I think it's because the pattern is broken up so the eyes don't just go in one direction. Really nice!
