This is the Diamonds quilt our DoGood Stitches Haven circle made for our September blocks. I saw this quilt on Kathy's blog post and just fell in love with the bright colors and simplicity of the blocks.
They are just 5 inch squares to start with, made into HST's and squared up to 4.5 inches. Then just sewn into a diamond shape.
This was a great way to use up some random leftover charm squares! And, I don't know about you, but sometimes those lights that aren't really that light, or have just a bit more color than you really want, are tricky to work with. So this quilt was the perfect spot for those.
The colors match the backing pretty well huh?
The quilting just got an all-over treatment in a cream thread. I quilted a variety of motifs in it to keep it fun and interesting. And it's just more fun to quilt that way too :)
This was my last quilt for the Haven circle. At the end of 2017 some members decided to drop out and the few of us left were divided and put into other groups. So I am now in the Nurture circle! We have already made some really neat blocks that I will share one of these days.
