done like diamonds!

Well...I was experimenting with diamonds..as I have posted before.

It was never meant to be a special quilt, mostly just some half price fabric that I thought would be good to try something new.  Well it is finished...mostly because I got frustrated trying to match up the diamond points LOL.

Some were great..




others not so much...


But all in all it was a good learning experience. ...and my DH has claimed it for his! (He said I have never made a quilt for him...guess the ones on our bed don't count! )

Anyway..it is finished...

I love the colours but am not real happy with them all together. For those of you who have read Game of Thrones....this is what I think "motley" would look like :)

the backing is some random fabric from my stash, with a strip of colour from the front..

 But a finish , none the less!! So linking up to TGIFF.. today over at Quokka Quilts!
