Diamonds QAL - a finish

 This quilt along is a free project from Amanda Murphy designs.  It began last October 2020.   You can find instructions   HERE  .  Scroll down to find links to all the parts.

It was a great project to work on.  I love it when someone directs me in what quilting designs to use and where to put them.  I made my project a bit larger than directed in the pattern; added more borders;  It finished at  74 x 82.  I used a high loft poly to showcase the quilting; however I do find that type of batting makes it harder to push the quilt around under the needle and the fabric doesn't cling to the batt or pin baste as securely.  I quilt on a Janome Quiltmaker Pro Versa  sit down, a truly lovely machine.

This photo was taken outside, when we had snow,  and before the binding was stitched down.

This photo was taken  in church today ; all finished. The bottom border isnt really wavy, I just didn't straighten it out; cuz others were waiting to get seated.

Here is a close-up of the backing fabric.  It is a wide backing from Connecting Threads.  The colors and pattern blend with so many tops.  I love it.

I'm joining all these linky parties this week .  Be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing.
