I promised this quilt to my son, but it's still in my house because I love it so much.
Then I remembered I have lots of giant diamonds left over and lots of giant prints in my stash so I figured I would make myself another one!!!
To make a quilt like this you need lot of blocks, so I spent the afternoon cutting diamonds out of my large prints.
I threw them up on the wall so I could see them.
Of course I couldn't stop from playing with them.
You get the idea. And here is where you can tell I took Wanda's Colorwash 360 class. I have more fabrics to cut, and then I'll be rearranging them.
As for the news, my Dad had a heart attack yesterday. He's anemic, losing blood and they don't know why. There is something else going on, and to treat one thing means possibly making the other worse. So we are all taking it day by day and keeping our fingers crossed. Remember he's 87.

I already LOVE this latest iteration of your colorwash diamonds. And I'm continuing to send hugs to you and prayers for your dad and his caregivers.
I might not have been in a hurry to ship off that first quilt either, but you certainly have the ability to make a fraternal twin that will be every bit as great.
Prayers and healing for your dad, and wisdom for all those involved in his care.
Do hope the medics sort out your Dad's issues. Thoughts and Prayers for all. That new quilt will be as stunning as all the others you make, just beautiful.
thinking of you and your Dad, hope they find out the WHY and what to do.Meantime, know that so many of us out here are sending wishes of hope and love. The diamonds will give you some beauty at this time.XXX from a wet and cold place in NZ where it is spring and should be warmer.
Thinking of you and your dad. Hope they can sort something out for him.
Your ability to work with colour is inspirational
It is a beautiful quilt with a real fire in its heart.
I hope that your dad is out of pain and feeling better.

I have a template for these quilts, had it a long time. Just keep looking at yours and thinking, is this really me? We shall see.
Good thoughts for your dad. I know how hard these issues can be. Seems like it's either a Great or an Uh Oh all the time.
Take care,
I love that quilt too Lynne. You are so quick that you will have another made before I get out of my door
I wish good things for your dad. It's tough when we find ourselves with a health challenge, and we don't quite know how to fix it. Big hugs for both of you
I really love your diamond quilts. I love your choice of fabrics and how you arrange them, They are just gorgeous.
