I just put the last stitch in my Diamond Tile quilt. The block pattern was found in the May/June edition of Quiltmaker magazine.
This has been a very popular pattern, by Bonnie Hunter, in her Addicted to Scraps column. There have been many variations shared on the internet!
I decided to set mine on point, and used sashing between the blocks.
I quilted with Monopoly by Superior thread, stitching in the ditch for the sashing and also in the blocks.
I stitched a flower in the centre square of each block, using Rainbows by Superior thread, colour 801 - it has lots of bold colours!
I then finished by quilting a similar flower in the setting triangles, and a wavy border, using So Fine thread by Superior, in a neutral shade. I wanted the quilting to give dimension, but not detract from the colourful blocks.
This was a great way to play with scraps, as each block is different, although I used the same fabric in two of the centre squares!
I'll get some better pictures posted soon - DH, my quilt holder is out at the driving range, hitting a bucket of golf balls!
Really nice, Susan!
