This latest quilt finish was also inspired by Jolene @blue elephant stitches, loved her Vintage Diamonds quilt from her 'scrap quilt diary' (pattern link @theowlhutch). My focus was to try and capture some of Jolene's ‘vintage vibe’ and yet still be reflective of my stash here.
I'm enjoying this mix of scrappy sewing & a super punchy palette. It ended up all working well together - the lights & brights, the old & new, the cool & warm tones - a little bit of everything really. I've taken lots of close-ups so you too can check out my mix of fabrics!
I selected a dark teal RSS floral fabric for my backing and had it quilted by Leeanne @quiltmekiwi in an E2E 'feeling good' panto, using gold thread.While there are lots of pinks & teals & mustardy-gold accents, there are also quite a few black fabrics in the quilt too, and I think this black & white stripe fabric for binding was the natural choice.
Quilt measurements 66" x 52".
Adding the final stitches to my vintage diamonds quilt today ...

Until next time, Linda

Another beautiful quilt and I especially love that binding
I am surprised how well this color combination worked out. It's a beauty. Stripe binding is perfect for it.
That is such a pretty quilt. Congrats on the finish!
Very pretty, Linda! You're brave to piece diamonds. Though I've made a diamond quilt myself, I know how much effort it takes to get them joined just right. Well done, you! And I love the black and white striped binding. It's often the perfect finish to a somewhat scrappy design. I will be using a black and white strip to bind my next finish. Coming soon.
This is fabulous! Congrats
I love the gold and the dark blue you put in it - makes it striking
Linda, every time you post a finished quilt, I need to enlarge the photo on my big computer screen so I can study and appreciate the way you use color and value in your quilts. I used to think you just had a fantastic fabric stash (which you definitely do!), but then I realized that these are fabrics I see other quilters using in their quilts that do not have anywhere near the visual impact that yours do. I agree with Karen that the rows of deep blue and gold are heavy lifters here, so unexpected with the pale pinks. That, and the black and white striped binding. I am in love with this quilt.
So pretty... love the diamonds and the colours that bordered the quilt so nicely.
Yep, this is still an absolute favorite with me! All the diamonds and the punchy mustard with the other colors you selected are just so wonderful. I’m definitely doing this one!! I just need to finish a few (dozen) other projects first.
