Here are my fabrics for my Challenge Quilt for our 2007 Quilt Show. I have so many ideas, projects, stored quilts, photos of quilts, and I’m getting a bit bored with them and finally decided to try something a bit different.
The theme for the Challenge is “Diamonds” so here are diamonds, and the fabrics are a bit Africa-y looking, one looks like wood blocking. This is paper pieced, not usually my favorite, but I like how this is turning out. I haven't decided to use the speckly print on the bottom of the stack for the corner or side triangles. It may look very different when the diamonds are finished, although I am also tempted by a cheetah print at the LQS. The star finishes at 28", and I'll add borders when I see what it likes.The center is turning out to be a large space - I can see where it may improve with being broken down into smaller triangles.
This is turning out nicely! Lots of bitty pieces no matter which technique you use?
ReplyDeleteThis looks great Elaine. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to follow your diamond progress. It looks very good :-)
ReplyDeleteYour diamond star is incredible! Is this from a pattern or a book? I haven't see it before.
ReplyDeleteThis is coming along beautifully. I really like where you placed the dark colors so they ring the center section. This will be a stunning, eye-catching quilt when it is finished.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great. Just the project for paper piecing. I have only tried samples of paper piecing and didn't really like it but when I see this piece I may have to rethink the whole paper piecing thing.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to you found me so I could find you. :) I'll be back regularly now. Diamonds, huh? Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh - I LOVE it! And I love that africany looking fabric in the center. It is wonderful!
