Loranne’s Scrappy Diamond Quilt

Hello there…
It’s been a few days since I shared a quilt. I’ve been having some issues with my email list, and I’m not sure that it will work again…I guess we’ll see. In the meantime I’m going to keep sharing quilts that I’ve quilted.

This incredible quilt was designed and made by Loranne!! She gets inspired and starts creating. She even made a template. There is no pattern.

Look at all of those vibrant colors!! Especially with the thin black trim and black/white stripe fabric. A great way to use your scraps up!

Loranne wanted feathers in the black/white stripe stars. I used the 16” Edge ruler from Linda at The Quilted Pineapple to quilt the spine in the feather, and to quilt in the ditch along the thin black fabric.

For the diamond blocks I used my 5” Circle2™ machine quilting circle ruler to quilt the center petals. My Circle2™ rulers are available in my shop. I also used Linda’s -20- curve ruler for the diamond curves…with a 1/2” space between each line.

I used white thread in the white/black fabric and gold thread inside the diamonds. I used my favorite 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline.

And…then look at this backing! I just love it when backings showcase the quilting!! Lighter fabrics like this one, allow the quilting to be seen.

I love the details that quilting adds to a quilt!! Especially when it highlights the quilt blocks.

This is my Circle2™ ruler set!! Six rulers with two different sizes of circles per ruler…ranging in size from 2” up to 13”. They are available in clear and green 1/4” high quality acrylic, made in America.
