February Quilt Finish

This is my first (I'm feeling optimistic here) finish for February.  I just love

these diamonds.  My dear friend Loretta found the pattern in an

old quilt magazine.  This was our Park City project in June.  We were invited

to join a friend who was house and dog sitting so we all

packed up our fabric and sewing machines for a mini quilting

retreat.  It's so much fun to see a quilt made in such

different fabrics.  This was mine:

These are not typical colors or fabrics for me but I love the way

the quilt looks.  The brown border really does look great

and frames the quilt nicely.  I really hate it when I spend

a lot of time ensuring fabrics aren't touching, consult with my

quilitng friends and then look:  (sorry for the blurriness)

I think I get too anxious to sew all the rows together and make a mistake

like this!  It would be nice to notice it before sewing on the binding!

I think one of the best things about this quilt is the way

the diamonds intersect the border:

Doesn't it look cool!
