Two weeks ago I was on a quilting retreat
at a small Quilt Cottage in upstate New York.
There were five of us there
for three days,
sewing away.
While I was there,
I worked on one quilt...
for my daughter and her fiance,
who are getting married in September.
Most of the blocks were made at the little cottage.
The blocks I wasn't able to finish up there have since been finished.
Rows are being sewn together now.
Yes... I am making another
"Diamonds in the Deep" quilt.
My future son-in-law is NOT a big fan of quilts.
(I know... I'm allowing my daughter to marry him anyway! :D)
When he saw the first Diamond in the Deep quilt I made for my
goddaughter, he asked me to make one for them.
How could I not do that?
He chose this deep teal color with the white.
I hope to have the rows sewn together this week and
to get it to the quilter after that.
Thankfully this is for a queen bed,
so I won't need to add borders.
Here is the unbound but quilted California King size quilt
I made earlier this year.
I do love this pattern,
but WOW!! is there a lot of cutting, sewing and pressing.
I'm linking to Small Quilts and Doll Quilts today.
Happy Quilting!

I had to look, and look again when I realized how the blocks change! How do you manage to keep them in the proper order? Hope you are able to convert your son-in-law to like quilts.
That is definitely a lot of cutting, sewing and pressing! Your work is always so stunning in it's neatness. I love this color! You made amazing progress! My sister also didn't like quilts but she saw one of mine and fell head over heals so now she owns it.
Such a unique pattern. Like Nann, I'm wondering how you kept it all organized. Beautiful.
It's even more beautiful in this deep color. Very bold design - must have changed his mind about what quilts can be. Gorgeous!
Gorgeous pattern; no wonder he likes it! You'll convert that son-in-law yet... :-)
that is striking!! beautiful have a great week
Indeed if he asked for a quilt you HAVE to make one!! A seed has been planted and he'll ask for more, LOL It is a gorgeous quilt for sure. I can see there is a whole lot of work involved in this one, you did good girl!!
I LOVE this pattern too. It is going to be a beautiful quilt for them.
This is amazing! What a wonderful design and color combination! I think he doesn't know how lucky he is to have a future mother in law like you! Especially when you make such a beautiful quilt as this one.
