Diamonds
My quilt top will go to the charity I sew for.
Backstory for this quilt: I was working on my normal 6-1/2" square string blocks using Pellon #830 (very light weight used for making patterns) for the foundation, when a neighbor came to have coffee and as always, wanted to see what I was working on. (She doesn't quilt, admires those of us who do.) Laughingly said, geepers, if I quilted, I'd use those dryer sheets. Hmmm. seems that she can do a dozen loads a week between her kids and her parents laundry, "do you want me to save them"? Sure, why not, figuring she'd forget, but over the weekend she brought me a bag of them -- all nicely washed and soft and the iron doesn't stick or melt them! Had to try them. Not sure if I like this one, because the diamonds don't show up too well. I was going to sash the 4-block diamond, but I got carried away making these diamonds and made way too many. I will try again, making half light diamonds, and half dark diamonds. I trimmed the diamonds 6" x 9-1/2" but will trim the next ones to 6-1/2" wide. Doesn't matter if the foundation is smaller than the trimmed block. The stuff is so lightweight and easy to work with.
