Someone posted a pic of this quilt on facebook a couple of months ago. As soon as I saw it I knew I wanted to try it. A friend posted a link for the book it came from, found it used on Amazon and used some of my points so it was free....YAY!!!My DGD helped me pick fabric for it and this is my version, I really like it and am keeping it for my bed!!!!

Wow! I love that. I have a grandson who loves that too. He says those are his team colors. Gotta love sports. What is the name of the book?

I can see why you want to keep it for yourself! You did a wonderful work.

The book is "Blocks to Diamonds" by Cheryl Malkowski. Has some other cool patterns in it too.

Very cool.

Daylesewblessed 06-05-2014 03:35 AM

A few years ago my mother saw a quilt made from this pattern at a quilt show. She loved it. so I got the book. After looking at the directions, I decided it would be a while before I had the confidence and skills to do it. Did you find that it was difficult? Were the instructions in the book accurate, helpful?

Sew Hooked 06-05-2014 04:11 AM

STRIKING! As with all quilts, it is the selection of color that takes it over the top. Stunning . . .

kuntryquilter 06-05-2014 04:16 AM
