Fresh Diamonds

 eileen1

Eileen and Phyl worked on this quilt together as it is a wedding gift for a friend of theirs.  The pattern is called Fresh Diamonds and you can find it free on Craftsy here.   It’s a great pattern to use up scraps!   I quilted it with the Popcorn panto, used light brown So Fine thread and Quilters Dream Blend batting.

The leaves are starting to pop out and I might get brave this weekend and buy a few flowers and plant my vegetable garden. The ice on the lake has only been gone a week!

  1. No border, how interesting and it looks great without one. Sort of a trend, is it?
