After at least 10 years,
Diamond Delights is a finished quilt
and I could not be happier with it.
After cutting all of the pieces for this quilt years ago,
I realized I had made a big mistake.
Into a box it went... banished for years.
Back in January I decided it needed to be finished
or thrown away.
I started piecing the blocks and loved how it was
coming together.
Jennifer at Peaceful Hill Quilting
worked her magic with the long arm
and binding was sewn onto it last week.
These colors are so rich and vibrant and just seem to glow.
They are all Kaffe Fassett shot cottons and stripes,
making this quilt so soft.
I doubt many of these are still available today
since it lingered in the box for so long.
The backing is a Kaffe stripe, too.
The thing I learned from this process is unless one sees the pattern,
the mistake is not evident at all.
As several have said... I made it my own!
Happy Quilting!

A beautiful finish Ramona, is this one for you?
Wow! I love this quilt and it really is special...you made lemonade from lemons!
It's absolutely wonderful; those shot cottons are so soft and cozy. I know that you're happy that you resurrected this one now, it's a treasure!
Well, I saw the pattern on Olivejuicequilts and I still couldn't see where you "messed up"...lol! It's a lovely quilt and the colors are rich and vibrant. You've encouraged me to pull out a kit I put away probably 10 years ago. Blessings, Ramona...hope all is well.
