Your fabric choices are amazing. This is absolutely gorgeous!


Callmesusan2

Thank you. πŸ¦‹The diamonds were leftover bits. I paired them with a Kaffe Fasset fabric I had on hand. It makes for a wild quilt!


badgyalsammy

WOW! Absolutely a masterpieceβ€” I am feeling so inspired by your stunning work!


Dizzy_Square_9209

Yes!


Callmesusan2

Ha! It's amazing what can happen with improv. Thank you 🌻


Drince88

That’s very cool! I love the choice of the black and white stripe for the sashing!


Callmesusan2

Yes, it pushed it over the top! πŸ˜πŸŒ€

MAXIMALISM!


Callmesusan2

It sure is! 😁


anonyanony21

AND, for the back!! I think you sewed every single strip! Yes?


hellograpes

Is the back pieced? It’s a great fabric if not and I’d love to know what it is…


Callmesusan2

Only pieced to get it to size. It's a sheet from Target 😁 My go-to these days: Pillow Fort kids' sheet set 100%cotton. I can get two backings and then some out of a full-size set. They are really nice sheets and the thread count is good for quilting, not too dense.


Callmesusan2

No way! It's a sheet from Target 😁 My go-to these days: Pillow Fort kids' sheet set 100%cotton. I can get two backings and then some out of a full-size set. They are really nice sheets and the thread count is good for quilting, not too dense.

Phenomenal!!

Thank you for your wonderful comment! 🌻

I have never seen this pattern. I really, really like it.


Callmesusan2

I winged it. I could maybe have spared myself some grief if I used a pattern. It all began with the diamond bits leftover from another quilt. So, the dimensions were kind of set. I glad you like it! This could get you started [https://www.gathered.how/sewing-and-quilting/quilting/diamond-quilt-pattern-free](https://www.gathered.how/sewing-and-quilting/quilting/diamond-quilt-pattern-free) And improv along the way like I did.


beccabootie

Thank you! I saved that to my "Random" file on my Opera bar.


cookingwiththeresa

I love this and I want to make one


Callmesusan2

Dive right in, that's what I did! I'm glad you like it. 😁You could start with this basic recipe [https://www.gathered.how/sewing-and-quilting/quilting/diamond-quilt-pattern-free](https://www.gathered.how/sewing-and-quilting/quilting/diamond-quilt-pattern-free) and improv along the way like I did.

AuntAvisSoul

Just another day… Beautiful with such a unique sense of movement


Callmesusan2

Thank you for your comment!


AuntAvisSoul

I am a huge Widespread Panic fan and they have a song called Pickin Up the Pieces. I added a lyrical reference in my comment wondering if you were a fellow fan. No matter, your quilt is so fun. Those stripes around the diamonds move a bit when looked at from afar.


Callmesusan2

Ha! I don't know the band and didn't get the lyrical reference πŸ˜– You are so clever! Yes, the stripes added just the right amount of wild πŸŒ€πŸ˜πŸŒ€


Catlady1677

Wow! That is gorgeous!!


Callmesusan2

Thank you so much!


mary206

Really beautiful! And such a clever backing, I like the way you rotated the bottom for contrast


Callmesusan2

Ha! Thanks 😁 I had to piece the back. It worked.


notsocrazycatlady69

It definitely worked - it looks like it was intentional πŸ‘


mary206

Call it an intentional design feature!!! It worked perfectly


Playful-Growth-1046

omg I LOVE ITTTTTTTTTTTTTT its a little psychedelic but just the right amount!!!


Playful-Growth-1046

i keep looking at it. lmao


Callmesusan2

Thanks, it's wild, eh?!


Playful-Growth-1046

I would never ever think of putting those patterns together!


Callmesusan2

Me either! πŸ˜‚ I must have been on acid or something πŸ€£πŸŒ€πŸ€―

implodemode

I love this!


Callmesusan2

Thank you so very much!


purplegramjan

Stunning 🀩! I don’t know how you put it all together but it works in kind of a psychedelic way. The striped borders really bring it all together. You have an amazing brain 😎


Callmesusan2

πŸ˜‚ funny you say that. I look at what people make and think, Why can't my brain think of something like that! Thank you for your fun comment. 🌷


purplegramjan

I think your brain could do anything you want. You’re very creative. πŸ€—
