This quilt is for an 18 year old girl who'll be graduating from high school in June. I wanted something fresh, vibrant, youthful and colorful. This quilt scores on all points and, as I looked at on the design wall a phrase came to my mind...
"This isn't your grandmother's quilt."
It sure isn't!
By the way... Every. Single. Fabric. in this quilt came from my stash. I didn't buy anything, although a quilt like this will surely need a backing every bit as avant-garde.

I love the way your large diamonds showcase beautiful (not to be cut too small) fabrics, and the dark diamonds lift it up , in a way I hadn't thought dark would. Superb. Will you add a border or just bind it?
fantastic quilt. impressive stash.
Fun? Heck, they're a girl's best friend!
It's beautiful. You are so talented.
Simply gorgeous!
That is going to be one happy-looking dorm room! Lovely quilt, and perfect for a girl that age.
Lovely!
Gorgeous
spectacular
I love this. It makes me think of a court jester in the very BEST way. You are amazing.
Wow! I was just at Des Moines AQS and saw your quilt. I was enticed by some Kaffe fabric, Wow, I think this may be a suggestion for them! I picked them up because I had a little thought in my subconscious that I could form, I think this is the thought! Thanks for the inspiration. Pet Millie for me. I know she wouldn't let me.
What a real beauty - reminds me of a Spring garden! The mix of different sized diamonds looks so good.
Absolutely Beautiful!!
Just great! And you put that one together so fast! Got a good Boho feel to it.
Congrats on a stunning arrangement .... Wow!
I have been a fan and followed you since you spoke in St. Louis. This is just so interesting and helpful for you to share the unfolding of your wonderful quilts. I hope you continue to share how they come about. Thank you for all you do for quilting.
Mission very much accomplished and it was fun reading through your process!
