OK, Maybe I'm loosing it, but does anyone else get this illusion of 'movement' in this quilt? I love this 'bonus' in this piece! <br /><br />So, if you don't already question my sanity (giggle), I create with very small pieces of fabric and exotic yarns.

It looks more wonderful everytime you post more diamonds. Yesterday was a nice warm day to do some chores outside.

I always enjoy double clicking on a closeup so I can see the wealth of fabrics you've included in blocks like these. <br /><br />Veddy interesting zigzag. I don't remember this one. I like the black-dark gray-light gray progression with the bright florals.

...Hi Wanda,<br />Both quilt tops are nice and colorful! <br /><br />I was wondering about proportions on the zig zag one; it appears you did something like 3.5 inch strips sewn together, then cut into 6.5 inch blocks? Or did you do bigger strips? Not that i want to be a copy cat or anything (hah).<br /><br />Happy Spring (we are grey, gloomy and rainy today).<br /><br />Vicky FVicky Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13580450164312941983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-66126320573600608262011-04-03T16:06:07.937-05:002011-04-03T16:06:07.937-05:00Love the diamonds Wanda!Love the diamonds Wanda!Mary on Lake Pulaskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16965950454417494966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-59186173737485473112011-04-03T14:18:19.678-05:002011-04-03T14:18:19.678-05:00The diamonds are arguably more exuberant, but I fi...The diamonds are arguably more exuberant, but I find that I prefer the second quilt: It has a definite color identity.
