Diamonds, Diamonds and more diamonds...This is my wip, I have been inspired again by the great Kaffe Fassett Fabric and Quilt designer. In his book "Simple Shapes Spectacular Quilts", the quilt "Bordered Diamonds" caught my attention. I'm using the accuquilt die, diamond, to do my cutting for me...layered up fabric, as you can see below, gives me lots of diamonds in no time at all.

Here are three with borders added, as you can see I'm going to use brights....
Home made bread last night, added dried blueberries and cranberries....from the book "Dough: Simple Contemporary Bread" by Richard Bertinet. Awesome book, great photos, great recipes and a DVD to show you how. Notice my salvage potholders have "pink" in them.
Daisy got a new leash...and yes it's PINK.
Have a gret weekend! Hugs, Michelle

Your quilt's going to be beautiful and the bread looks great! Looks like Daisey is ready for a walk:@)
Thank you for the idea Dough Simple Contemporary Bread by Richard Bertinet. I will try to take a peek at this book and purchase it for our library here. Daisy made me smile for the day. HPS!

Pretty quilt! Love the vintage look of the fabrics.
Yummy homemade bread!!! I think I can smell the goodness through the computer screen.
Your quilt will be so beautiful and I love bright colors. I can't wait to see it finished. I hope you will share it with us.
Happy Pink Saturday, Char

I have no doubt your quilt will turn lovely. I enjoy all quilts, old or new. This is a neat pattern.
O, this is a cool quilt! I'm energized to want to get a diamond shape for my Accu-cutter... =D

Happy Pink Saturday!
Thanks for stopping by my blog - love Daisy's new leash. Wow- diamond pattern with borders. that is looking like some serious piecing work but I am soooo interested in the final quilt. My Mom went through a 10 year quilting phase - I loved it. I am a fabric hound but I never quite get as far as actual creation :)
