    My daughter and i went to a country craft show a few weeks ago here in Australia. There was also a great quilt display from people in the region. My daughter fell in love with a diamond quilt. After searching, Donna's yt video came up and now I am in the middle of making the quilt with fabrics from my 90's stash. Blocks are done, hoping to sew them together by end of the week. The instruction with the pattern are great. Thank you.

    This was like magic! Wow! A friend is having a baby soon. I could see making the light background in a cloud-like fabric and doing something whimsical to make the diamonds look like kites.

    Donna you have a wonderful fabric panel on your website =- Bernatex Metallic Cat 2 purrfect cats - 755112. Would you please make a quilt using it as a central panel on the quilt. I would love to use this for a quilt for my grown daughter who is busy rescuing strays and even a grey ferral cat that comes to her house daily for food and sleeps on her outdoor chair but will not allow her to touch him. He hisses and snarls despite being fed warm milk and food daily for 2 years. Sorry, didnt mean to write a book but I would love to see the panel made up into a quilt. Its so lively and inspirational. Many thanks

    Lived the quilt, luv your videos. My first thought when you made the cornerstones was if you would have cut the layer cake at 2 inches instead of one on each side you would have had the two inch squares to use in the cornerstones. Keep the videos coming luv them.

    I've watch many times your tutorials, its very cheers me up when looks all amazing colours set it up, it always gorgeous. Makes me wants to be a quilt maker, and I already start it with the little source (pillow cover, placemats) even thought I'm also have 2-3 pieces the large source since 5 years ago (and not yet finish due to my working hours as an employee)...... Dona you did a wonderfull tutorial, very technically and not to much talking that not necessary so that really inspire, thank you (the cameraman also do the great job, it helps to see more details, thank you). Now talking about the giveaway, I do really want the have one. You guys makes me more fall inlove with quilting.

    I just finished this top, using Anthology batik fat quarters from a boxed bundle of 75 they used to sell. 16 different darks and 8 different lights. I put them in a 4x8 layout to make a throw. I haven't decided whether I'll put borders on it. For the backing, I think I'll use some more of the fat quarters near full size to piece big diamond insets.

    Super nice quilt and excellent demo! I like when she says to average it out if you get two different measurement across or up and down your quilt top! I did this with my log cabin blocks--a quick measure before adding each strip--, then fudging that seam to keep re-acheiving proper size and straight seams, and it worked great! No trimming needed, even before joining my blocks, and I got nice straight rows and great corner joints. I've discovered the secret to accuracy is.... FUDGE! 🤸🤸🤸🤸📐📐✂️✂️ (Psst, don't tell the pros we're on to them!😸)

  • @nancyarchibald9095
    @nancyarchibald9095 4 роки тому

    This is such a handsome quilt! It just looks a tad narrow to me. One more diamond. Making 5 across would be more appealing. You know what they say about odd numbers being best for design work. The for the tutorial Donna. These fabrics are really stunning. Lucky you!!
