Shine on you Crazy Diamond Finished!!!
 

I named this quilt Crazy Diamond as I think I must have lost my mind in designing it and piecing it! This quilt took many months (I think more than 3). At first I started with 4 inch pieces and realized you would not see the diamonds on the top of the bedspread - it was going to spill so far over the sides you would not see the pattern as a whole http://www.quiltinghaven.com/Smileys/popos/angry.gif so after 12 rows I cut all the pieces down to 3 inches and added more to the sides/top/bottom to accommodate the for smaller pieces. I will post pics after it is quilted on the bed - it looks pretty good!

The idea came from an ad I saw (pic attached). Using EQ7 i created the design (attached - I did modify the final product a bit but it was close) and got to work. The quilt is entirely made from Batiks and for each pair of colors I selected a solid watercolor and a patterned batik so it was not so flat.

I am glad it is done and looks pretty neat even if it did not turn out as 3D as I would have liked. This one is for my bed and is a CA king. I learned a lot about EQ7 in the process so it was a win/win!

WOW, I think it looks 3D. It is awesome!!

In the photo it looks very 3D. Absolutely love it! Have you considered quilting it with the horizontal lines to achieve the look in the ad. Congrats on a beautiful quilt.

That's amazing! I love it!

That turned out great, well done.

A stunningly gorgeous quilt.

Beautiful quilt. I love the colors against the black.
