I'm slowly collecting the fabrics to make Kaffe Fassett's Bordered Diamonds quilt but in the meantime, I thought I would make up a sample with some sale fabric that I'd bought just to make sure I understood what I was doing before I ploughed into the full size thing. Each diamond shape has it's own contrasting border
.. and they get stitched together in strips across the diagonal once the border goes on. I decided to add my own stitching detail across the diamonds for added interest.
It's ended up as an unexpected present for my parents as it looks really good on their dining room table!

It's gorgeous!
Beautiful stitching :-) xx
How lovely! Love the diamonds.
I too am collecting KF fabrics and DD2 gave me some for my birthday. It's a shame it's so expensive but Black Sheep Wools now have a fabric dept and sell it the cheapest I've found. They also have some lovely Zandra Rhodes designs I love. Ugh! something else to covet!

It's beautiful Carol and I look forward to seeing the diamonds in Kaffe's fabrics. I am always fascinated by the way a pattern can look so different in other colourways.
Ohhh Carol, that is wonderful. Great design and so well made !!
Looks beautiful on your Parents table, you are so clever.
Starting my first quilting class next week, am a tad apprehensive about it but looking forward to the challenge :-) x
That is gorgeous, Carol!
You really have an eye for pattern & the stitching is fabulous.
This is gorgeous Carol and I'm looking forward to seeing the quilt when it's made.

this is gorgeous cloth Carol...Kaffe Fassett fabric??? As if Liberty wasn't tempting enough....I may just have to search for some of his too.
Ooh Carol, that is lovely. Love the pastel shades you used - bet your parents were chuffed with their daughter's gift.
