I finished this quilt last month, but never posted, so here it is.
It was started in May, Purple Diamonds. I had a few popped seams that are now fixed, so here is the finish.
In the beginning I wasn’t that crazy about the fabric. It was one of those great buys, but not sure what I was going to do with the layer cake. Of course for me HSTs when I want a quick quilt and not to much thinking.
I love how the back came out with the simple straight line quilting. It was my first time using variegated thread and I like it.

Hi Jan,
I think this is great – and that backing fabric. Just perfect for showing off those straight straight-line stitching. Perfecto! ~smile~ Roseanne
I really like this quilt! The diamond shape is so interesting and I love that they are made with HST’s. What size did you make them? I may have to add this to my “I want to make this” list! And the straight line quilting is *perfect*. Thanks for linking to MCM!
It looks great! I especially like the fun binding and I think the quilting compliments the design and helps your eye be drawn to the fabrics.
Congrats on a beautiful finish!
You chose a good way to use up the fabric. This is a beautiful finish, and I love the colors. –Andrea
It’s a very pretty quilt. I’m really impressed with how straight your quilting lines are.
