More about the Diamonds quilt

Hi!

I have been getting some questions about my Diamonds quilt. So here are all the details.

I first saw a quilt made by Kristel Salgarollo. In the magazine Quiltmania they have a section there they visit quilters homes and you can see there quilts and things. I saw this picture off a quilt on her sofa


I fell in love with the quilt, but in this segment of the magazine there are no patterns. The homes are just for inspiration.

So what to do.... I made a template on cardboard of one big diamond. Traced it on several pieces of freezerpaper. Then I started drawing different kinds of diamonds, triangles and hexagons inside it. So that I would have the same shape of the big diamond, but divided into smaller shapes. I cut the diamonds apart and started tracing it on fabric, adding seamallowance on each part. Then cutting it out and piecing it. When I piece it, it becomes the same diamond again as I made out of cardboard. So that is my refference shape.

The fabric I used is from Moda and is called Wuthering Heights and is from 3 sisters.
I bought a package of FQ and shared half with my friend Weronica. So I have 50 fat eights. The thought is to continue until I am out of fabric or I am too bored with it. Since I am making it totally by hand I am going to keep it myself..

Any more questions please let me know...
