My first quilt of 2025 was this one. I started it on New Year's Eve and finished it a few days later. Just strips cut to create diamonds that radiated color. I love how it turned it out.
My fabric pull.
I cut a piece of card stock so I could lay the strips against it -- to both not waste fabric unnecessarily and also to make sure the angle was right.
I used my 8.5 inch ruler to trim each block
I kept the white strips in the middle and on the edges to get the layout I was looking for.
Declan holding up my progress, but holding it the wrong way. lol.
And done!! 4 blocks wide, 5 blocks tall, each block at 8.5 inches.
I love all the rich color. I know it;s not for everybody, but it makes me smile.
All said and done, I will be making this design again. Maybe smaller block sizes next time, but I love the diamonds!
