These are my test toppers made from the 60 degree diamond templates by Krista Moser and Creative Grids. They were very easy to use and I'm ready to make more projects from them. Vicki at Vicki's Crafts and Quilting: It's all in the Stars (knitbug2.blogspot.com) got me into this because of this post!
So I went hoppin over at Krista Moser's site and found all kinds of goodies. Blog | Krista Moser: The Quilted Life | Seattle and got myself into lots of trouble.
My test toppers ............ I took a shortcut and just made the diamond centers instead of making stripsets. I must say I like the effect of the stripsets much better. But the toppers came together wonderfully and I'm ready to make more diamond patterns.

This is a pattern from Kim Schaefer's booklet of Calendar Quilts. I prepped all the pieces for the turkey last year or maybe it was 2021? I decided this was the year to complete it. Spent several afternoons stitching down all the fusible applique and now I'm enjoying it hanging on the wall. It's stitched and quilted with Glide Military Gold thread and finished at 26 x 33 .

Hmmm. when you make a long-term project scrappy, it calls for having alot of fabrics tossed about in your work space. I am still caught up with this project, sort of. I 'm not sold on my choices for block 3, so I'm pretty sure I will be re-doing that one. It just needs some light background for contrast!
I made block 3 using the paper piecing method; but for the first time, I sewed next to the paper instead of thru it. It worked out pretty good. I made an extra copy of the pattern units to cut apart and use as templates for cutting my fabrics which makes placement easier also. My paper piecing methods also use many tips from Carol Doak's teachings.

The Mandala quilt along was created by Angela Walters at Quilting Is My Therapy. The qal is finished but you can still get the products HERE and the instruction videos HERE .
This was a great panel to free motion quilt on. Rulers were used only to make smooth stitching on the long archs. I worked on it steadily until I got to the background, where I stalled because I wanted it to flow with the design and not stitch just an allover filler.
My Mandala finished at 55 x 66. I used several colors of Glide threads and a Bottom Line thread in the bobbin. I didn't get a picture of the backing.
I'm joining these linky parties this week. Please be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing.
