I'm sending this off to my daughter tonight !
I named it "Diamonds are forever"

It is machine pieced and quilted except for the whole diamond blocks that are done by hand. It is all done in home spun and some day I'll count the diamonds. This was quite a project with all the diamonds being on a bias , but I'm very happy I took it on !

beachlady I named the quilt myself " Diamonds are forever "

there is no pattern that I'm aware of . I found a quilt like this in a furniture store and went home and figured it out ( with permission ) on my EQ6


Thank You all for the nice compliments !

ooooooooo beautiful

GailG 01-08-2009 11:17 AM

FAN--TAS---TIC !!! I can't imagine sewing that many bias seams. Whew! I have a question. A while back someone on the board mentioned not using homespun fabrics. So -- why?? Did you have a problem with that?

gigi2landon 01-08-2009 12:11 PM

beautiful absolutely beautiful

Mary L 01-08-2009 07:29 PM

Gail G . I had no problems at all . i should probably prewashed though !
I will have to be very careful and use those dye magnets when I do .

I think some people think that the homespuns fray , but you could make it larger than a 1/4" seam if that was a concern.

Like I said I had no problems at all !

Mary L 01-08-2009 07:30 PM

Thanks again for all the nice compliments !!!

Janstar 01-08-2009 07:34 PM

Thanks Mary. I'm going to have to find some of those dye magnets that several have mentioned.
