Last night just as the sun was setting I finished my Uncut Diamonds. Sadly the lack of light made picture taking undesirable. I got up this morning to fog. Finally just before noon the sun came out so my Diamonds could shine.
I was 18″ short on my original choice for binding. No worries this is a scrap quilt so a scrappy binding is prefect. I chose two separate dotty black prints. I really like the way the black print frames the quilt and love that there is variety in that frame.
I did go back and add a swirl of quilting in each of the diamonds. It gave me piece of mind knowing I didn’t have larger areas not quilted. Plus I like the way it looks on the back.
This was a very fun quilt to make. I’m so happy I found a good home for all those odd triangles.
Remember there is a tutorial for this quilt here. Just in case you have a bunch of odd triangles lying around that need a good home.
Linking up with my friends; Sarah, Myra, Amanda Jean and Cynthiato celebrate this sparkling finish.
Lovely diamonds! My small 'liberated' diamond quilt is almost done.
Very pretty. I love the grey background. Looks great in the snow. Happy 2017! Can't wait to see what you come up with next year.
It is so beautiful, Emily – and how lovely to have snow to show it off!!
It looks just beautiful, Em, and I like the quilting.
Love your quilt, very modern contrasts beautifully with the large polynesian swirl. Great flash of colors against the gray.
Beautiful use of lovely triangle scraps!!
What a great finish! I love the cheerful scrappiness of these diamonds, and your quilting is just right. You can't go wrong with a dotty black and white binding, either. Congratulations on such a cool quilt!
Your diamonds quilt looks great! I love gray paired with brights, and your scrappy binding is perfect.
