This is really quite a glorious (pun definitely intended) fabric. (Remember you can click the pictures, and then click them again to enlarge them and see all the detail.)
This is what the fabric looked like when I was finished cutting diamonds. You don't think I cut them all the same, did you?
You'll definitely have to click to enlarge this photo to see all the ways I cut the diamonds from this fabric. Actually the design was a bit smaller than either Julie or I expected, but it was much more beautiful than either of I expected also.
To get nine diamonds out of this fabric, I needed to do a tiny bit of surgery. This wasn't a cutting mistake, this was just a way to get another diamond out of limited yardage.

That fabric was a happy surprise - I really wasn't sure about it untilI had it unfolded in my studio.
Wow, I love that fabric!
Super fabric, and fussy cutting to the extreme. each one is so right with the eye and plumes.
Love this fabric.
Looks like Julie is keeping an eye on you.
When you cut them up so that the eyes aren't all marching in rows, the wavy parts become more prominent. It sort of looks like eyes underwater. Like at the bottom of a pool with water moving irregularly over them.
I love this fabric and I'm curious as to how much yardage of main floral fabric is required for the Diamond quilt?
