A Few More Diamonds

Most of these diamonds are from Linda Franz’ Quilted Diamonds 2 book, although a few are also from Quilted Diamonds. I amended a few of them in EQ5 to turn them into basket diamonds as I wanted every diamond in this set to have some sort of curved piecing.

I had a few inquiries regarding the size of the diamonds. They finish at 4″ by 7″. I took a few photos with a ruler, just to give you an idea.

This is the diamond design from Quilted Diamonds 2 that started my passion for hand piecing curves. There’s something SO satisfying about doing these!

Amended a bit to turn it into a “gift” diamond. 🙂

Smudge with his lion — we found these funny little lions in the grocery store around Christmas and decided the boys each needed their own!

Hi Cathi,Thanks for the lovely comment you have left on my quilting. I did some reading on the bamboo batting – this is what I came across on Fairfield’s website:Bamboo BattingBamboo has wonderful properties that make it the perfect fiber to use in batting. The thermal characteristics of bamboo actually pull moisture away from the body. It has wonderful breathability, making you warm in cooler climates and cool in warmer climates. The use of bamboo fiber also makes this an environmentally friendly product.Bamboo batting is soft and supple to the touch. It has a beautiful consistent drape. The thin scrim makes it perfect for machine quilting and allows a quilting distance of up to 8″. It is the most luxurious batting on the market today.I have in mind a quilt that I might use the bamboo batting on… and hopefully will be able to post about it.Have a great week! 🙂
