Diamonds



This is Gail's Diamonds Quilt.  I don't know the pattern name.  Gail usually quilts her own quilts, but this one she asked me to do, so I thought for a while and decided on a pattern Gail wouldn't do on her own--a meandering feather.

First Gail made me a happy quilter, because she knew her backing was large enough for the quilt, but not large enough for me to load, so she added these 'cheater' strips to the backing so I'd have plenty of room.  This way, I was able to start quilting just below the selvage of the fireside backing.



 The fireside backing is a lovely navy color--it just didn't translate in this photo, but the quilting shows nicely, so I guess that's OK.
