Fifty-Eight Carats

This is what I'll be sewing together. There are 58 unique fabrics, so I am going to call this quilt Fifty-Eight Carats, because carats is how you measure a gemstone, and a diamond is a gemstone.

For all of you who really want to see differences, here is the first quilt, Magic Carpet, which will be flying to my son and his family later this year.

Most excellent - it was worth the extra effort and trips to the fabric store!

I feel like you must have diamonds enough for several more of these quilts.....and they would all be wonderful.....you're going to make them, right ;-)

Artistry in action. Two quilts that are the same pattern, use multiple fabrics with similar themes and end up looking very different. I love it!

Similar, but SEW different!! I'm sure your son will be pleased with your gift.

They are both gorgeous. I find the second one more focused and a sharper value gradation. Bravo!

They are so lovely, and I think I prefer the one you are keeping.
