The directions I used were from an older book (I ordered it on Amazon) called CUT-NO-DIAMONDS! I ordered the book used and a few notes were made in it and the cut off edges of the lady's fabric choices were pinned to one of the pages! Thought that was sort of neat. Basically, you sew strip together, cut one end at a 45* angle then sew the strips together into tubes. These are cut into mini-tubes that you sew together to make the diamonds. It really went together pretty fast. |
I would use black on the black and a pale yellow on the rest. The quilt is gorgeous! :D :thumbup:

if you're hand quilting then all black and sid. be sure to use black on the back side as well on the front. if you're machine quilting, then on the star i would use the same color on the backing as the front for no show-through. everything shows up on black. i would use a neutral there.

I need to quilt it, but I can't decide how or what color thread I should use! I need some suggestions. Here's the culprit:

If you would like to try this, check Amazon for the book listed in my last post about halfway up this page. Because of copyright laws, I can't just give you explicit directions. It's a paperback and pretty cheap. I just bought a used one. I started this with the scant directions the gal gave that was doing the demonstration, but I was sure glad I ordered the book as I got further along.
