Welcome to my day to participate in the Be a Diamond Blog Hop, hosted by Carol at
Just Let Me Quilt. The goal in this hop was to create a "diamond" project.
Diamonds are a girl's best friend, as my birthstone is diamond I totally agree with that statement. Whether diamonds are a member of the precious stone family, a song or made from fabric they are the best IMHO. My project may not officially be a "diamond", however the squares on point do give the impression of diamonds.

| a fun novelty print |
I used an animal print that I had in my stash and thought it would make a lovely baby quilt. I paired it with Kona white, a fat quarter of green that I have no idea who makes it and a solid by Micheal Miller. The pattern is one that I designed and haven't written up yet. It's on my lengthy to do list.

| I quilted some feathers and swirls in the background |
For the quilting I did some dot to dot in the diamonds and curves in the triangles and on the print. I love feathers and quilted some free flowing feathers in the background.
 |
| a fun tetris print for the backing and square in a square corners. |
The sun cooperated fully for the quilts photo shoot. I sure am happy to see more of the sun, winter was way too long.
 |
| soon those tree branches that are shadows on the quilt will be full of leaves |
The quilt is 42'' by 42''. It is the second quilt for H2H2019.
Take a little time to visit the rest of those participating in today's lineup.
