Hello Friends

I wanted to share with you this special quilt that I made a while ago. It was one of my longest work in progress. As it was my first time working with diamonds, so there was a bit of trial and error. But after a few encounters with my seam ripper I think it turned out pretty good. When I designed this quilt I wanted to replicate the classic Argyle diamond pattern very popular in sweater vests and cardigans but with a fun twist. I used some of my very favorite Denyse Schmidt prints that I had collected since I started quilting.

For the backing I made and improv patch work of various prints. A bit more vibrant than my usual style, but I think it really complements the quilt and adds to its playfulness. I opted for simple straight line quilting to allow the patterns of the fabric shine and stand out.

I love how vibrant and fun this quilt turned out and the Argyle Dimond pattern is something I want to play around with a bit more. Maybe make another quilt and write up the pattern.

Now this quilt lives at my sister’s and I couldn’t be happier that it found a great home.

Until next time

Martha
