Fresh Diamonds Quilt
This is your chance to make a quilt that was on the cover of a magazine. (Read all about that in this blog post.) Using two 5” charm packs and a background coordinating color, this quilt really is fresh and lovely. The directions will make a nice crib size quilt, or a wallhanging, but she also gives directions for a larger twin size quilt. If you don’t have charm packs, just cut your own 5” squares from our 20” squares.
A great pattern for the Beginner who wants to add to her skill set, this tutorial will teach you how to make half-square triangles, pressing directions and how to assemble the quilt top, row by row. This tutorial is like a class, except it’s completely free, and you can do it on your own schedule. (And you don’t have to lug your sewing machine to the class!)
"I am in love with the Fresh Diamonds Quilt tutorial! As a beginner quilter, I was a bit intimidated by the half-square triangles, but the instructions were so clear and easy to follow that I felt confident the whole time. The end result is a beautiful and modern quilt that I'm proud to display in my home. I especially love that I was able to use 5" charm packs, which saved me so much time on cutting fabric. Thank you for this amazing tutorial, I can't wait to try more of your patterns!"
