purple diamonds
My good friend has 3 daughters. I made quilts for the younger two when they were born, but the oldest, who's nearly 11 (?!?!) was born before I started quilting. I decided to make her one now. She said she likes purple, geometric designs, and softball, which was pretty great input. I tried half rectangle triangles for the first time, in purples and grays. (I can't take credit for this cool design, because I got the layout idea from a quilt I saw when looking for ideas online.) It's backed with fleece and quilted with my walking foot, with lines echoing the outsides of the diamonds, and narrower diamonds within. I really like the how the quilting enhances the vertical diamond design.
