"Diamond Trip"

I did finish this one! This is #35 in my Upcycled Greens series.

For the quilting, all I did was straight line quilting in one direction. I used a heavy cotton batting available here in Poland.

I gave all these close ups so you could enjoy the fabrics. The key to this one, is of course, is making sure the contrasting fabric really makes a statement. Make sure it is a strong contrast!

The back is once again made up of second-hand fabrics. Obviously everything is pieced these days. I don’t have enough of any one of these fabrics to make an entire backing from one fabric.

It’s so pretty this morning - sunny and chilly.

Sometimes hanging on the line, you can get a different perspective on a quilt than lying on the table!

I’m leaving all these photos big so you can see them!

Once I got done - I realized I used this same color combination here.

This quilt is a great scrap-buster. I was able to use up a lost of 2.5” strips.

I did make this one from Donna Jordan’s pattern which is found here.

For the series - once again here it is:
