Thread: How Would You Quilt This?

Do let us know what you decide to do

Lol, it is a tree. Those aren't squares, though. This is a Double Diamonds Christmas Tree wall hanging so those are actually diamonds that are folded down from the fabric behind it so I don't think that SID would work well here, with all the Heat 'N' Bond that I used. I'm liking the idea of swirls, but perhaps larger swirls with a green thread that might blend with the fabric instead of upstaging the design? I really am still so confused as to what to do.

Beautiful wall hanging! Not sure about quilting.

Oh, no, it was super easy. You fuse two fabrics together, wrong sides together. Then you fold them, cut two slashes with the Double Diamonds template and then open up again. It creates a "V". You fold that "V" down, steam in place and put another background fabric behind to showcase through the opening. Here's the link to a tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xnr3hXUzfRs

Thanks! I finished them a little while back. Here's the link to the finished pics: Two Double Diamonds Holiday Wallhangings
