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.

Sweet quilt--I like the colors you chose too!
Your quilt is wonderful...love your feathers, too! Where Canada are you?
Such a cheerful quilt. Beautiful finish.
Oh my gosh, this is such a beautiful quilt! I love the design, fabrics, and your quilting knocks it out of the park. I'm a fan of lime green and red together, so this is a quilt I'd be throwing over my couch or snuggling in. Thank you for hopping with us!
Beautiful quilt and quilting!
That is lovely and will be a sweet gift for H2H.

This is such a cute baby quilt. Someone will definitely love it when they receive it. Thanks for sharing your talent AND your quilt with H2H!
A perfect quilt for spring!! A square in a square is considered a diamond, so it totally fits!! Happy birthday!!
love your diamonds. i used squares on point as well for some of mine. I think your fabric choices are terrific. great colors.
Amazing feathers! Great colours too, love your diamond quilt.
Such a pretty little quilt and definitely diamonds!
Beautiful colors! (I have a real thing for yellow green lately—must be because it’s spring.) I love your close-ups of the quilting.
This is the fun part of all quilt-making techniques. You can engrave the entire world on these quilts
One of the most basic tasks of creating a beautiful quilting project is to first choose among the best patterns like this one that will best suit the project at hand.
