The Dizzy Diamonds Quilt!

I was lucky enough to get an advance copy of Jennifer's new pattern last summer and be a "pattern tester" for her. The pattern is her Dizzy Diamonds quilt pattern. I love it!. I've just finished quilting it. Here are some photos taken on a bright, sunny day.

It was a pleasure to make. I used a combination of designer fabrics for the diamonds and then added a large, flannel border. The back is really another "front" of strips. I quilted it with large diamonds. Love how they show on the back. The quilt measures 70x54 inches. I am thinking about opening my etsy store with this quilt...finally! It's also tempting to keep it. It's totally my favorite colors!!

Jack's team won last night! :-)

I'm linking up to Amanda Jean's Finish it up Friday at Crazy Mom Quilts tomorrow! Whoo hoo...I just love a "finish" - don't you?

    Utterly gorgeous and the quilts not bad either lol!
    No seriously I love this quilt, it's so you. I love the back as much as the front, and I'm not into backing.

      Hurry up and get your dog-son or dog-daughter! I recommend the pound for adopting a stray. Duke was 4 months old and in a pound when we found him. He will be 8 on June 18! We gave him my husband's birthdate so they share!:-) my idea....not hubby's - lol!!

    It turned out beautiful! I quilted mine with diamonds too and love the way they look on the back.

    Way to go to Jack and his team!

    From someone who struggles with half rectangle triangles, this looks like quarter rectangle triangles. I.E. MUCH HARDER! I hope it is easier than it looks.
