Floating Diamonds
 

Finished up this quilt top this weekend. It is a graduation gift for our daughter's best friend. Her favorite color is pink and she loves tribal. This has been my most challenging top to date. It has 580 pieces and aside from the sashing, they are all diamonds, trapezoids, or triangles. It's not perfect and there are some alignment problems but I decided to leave them to remind her that like this quilt, people and life are not always perfect.

Thanks for taking a look.

Very interesting quilt indeed

it is beautiful!!! love the fabrics too. she will be most happy with it!!

All that bias would have driven me out of my mind.

Very pretty! I like your pattern and the fabric choices are striking. She should love this.

very different, pretty, good job.

I love it, and so will the lucky best friend of your daughter!! It is so fresh and crisp looking!

Very nice and so original! She is a lucky girl!

That's amazingly beautiful. I'm sure she'll love it.

very nice job!!!

You did a great job, I'm sure it will be loved and she won't notice the imperfections, I sure didn't.

Great quilt. I know first hand how difficult diamonds can be.

Beautiful, job well done and the sentiment is a good reminder to never expect perfection. It just won't happen.

Fabulous! So pretty.

A very sweet graduation gift.

Great quilt, your giving it away??!!

I love your quilt, it is so very different and the colors really make the quilt. I would suggest including care instructions as part of your gift so it enjoys a long life with its new owner. Thank you.

Wonderful work! I am fascinated by diamonds but haven't the nerve (or anywhere near the skill) to try them yet. Your quilt is inspirational. Thank you.

Very nice work.

It's incredible! She will love it

Great quilt! Love it!!

very pretty quilt

That's a great quilt. I love the floating aspect of it. Where did you get the pattern? And what size does it finish out to be?

"Pink and tribal" aren't commonly used in the same sentence, let alone the same quilt. I LOVE your interpretation and fabrics in that design. Kudoes for doing some difficult piecing!! She's gonna be so honored that you were so thoughtful .

Wow I guess that was a lot of work. You have done it! Great job!

Beautiful quilt top.

Love the look of this quilt, has a rather modern feel to it.

Interesting design. Nice work!

What a nice mama you are to do this for your daughters friend. I am sure that she will love it and will feel the love that went into this quilt. BrendaK

Very interesting pattern.

This quilt is a beautiful gift. Sure to be treasured.

Love the pattern and the fabrics you chose are perfect! Putting Tribal and Pink together would have thrown me for a complete loop - you absolutely nailed it.

I think it is a great quilt...I have not seen one like it but really like the pattern and the colors you chose.

Gorgeous....you did a wonderful job on this!

Wow! I admire your perseverance. A lovely quilt.

How sweet of you to personalize it just for her.

Love the pattern and fabric choices!

Very cool, I like it.

Great quilt and the message that goes with it!!!!!
