diamonds in scrappy

Taking a little break from binding and began piecing my scrappy diamonds together today. Fabric is always a good starting point for me. I've been hoarding collecting Anna Maria's fabrics for some time, the colours are mainly rich & saturated, and the patterns are playful & pretty.

As many of you know by now, my default is colour. Love using large multi-coloured florals but sewing scrappy with prints like these can be off putting for some. I've used a mix of collections from both old and new AM fabrics. I've combined a selection of *neutrals from Anna Maria too, teamed up with the jewel tones, they create a nice cloudy softening. 
A *neutral/low volume fabric to me is a print/design on a white/light background but as you can see (wink wink) my version of low volume for this one is in fact quite colourful, and the boundaries occasionally merge just a little! 

Enjoy the photos ...





- possible binding option





It's a small cuddle quilt size.
I'm now at the batting, backing, basting & "quilt as desired" stage. 


Until next time, Linda

I like the neutral/low volume to have a variety of pattern too. Sometimes the merging instead of contrasting is just what the quilt needs.

Another beauty. You have perfected the art of color and pattern. I agree with Wanda's last comment above.
