I first envisioned this block to be in a quilt combining two different blocks to produce a secondary pattern, and it may still show up in that layout in the future. However, I decided that these little gems needed to sparkle on their own; and have decided this time on a simple setting with a narrow sashing. Sometimes simple is best.
THE STATS: Diamond Sparkle, 2024, 30" x 34", Paper Pieced, Machine Pieced, Machine Quilted. Number Nerd Report: 126 different fabrics used; 591 pieces total.
This quilt is of the type I enjoy making the most. It involves frugality; all are pieces from my scrap bins (down to 1" wide); small (3 1/2" square) blocks; and muted colors (usually reproduction fabrics). I like the challenge to use what I have on hand to make a quilt project (in this case, sewing together five pieces of fabric to make the backing).
I'm really fond of this quilt!!
