Simple
squares and half square triangles can be combined using different
sizes and configurations to create interesting quilt patterns.
Diamond
Chain is my impression of a photo clipped from a magazine many years
ago. I used scraps of navy, blue, wine, and green prints and added
cream muslin for the four-patch blocks. The larger squares are dusty
peach floral and cream. Two borders frame this fall throw nicely.
Quilting
with cream thread, I sewed scallop stitch diagonally in rows 3”
apart. Diamond Chain is 58” square.
I
love the variety and challenge of experimenting with new designs. I truly enjoy
seeing a quilt photo and figuring out how to sew it. I find ideas all
the time, in tile patterns, clothing, magazines, architecture, and
nature. Always looking, because the next cool project might be just around the corner.
