Hello Everyone! It's another wonderful Friday and time to show off what you've finished this week! I finished a quilt called Diamond Pastures. I used a Cotton and Steal layered cake of Melody Miller's Mustang collection. I paired up my HST with one warm fabric and one cool fabric. It really helped this pattern pop!
This was a pretty easy quilt to put together with large HST, but the design really does stand out due to the color pairing.
I straight-lined quilted the quilt using Aurifil 50wt white thread.
The backing is a collection of Cotton and Steal scraps from the mustang collection as well as some other coordinating Cotton and Steal fabrics.
I pulled a solid out of my stash for the binding. It coordinates nicely, but doesn't necessarily match everything. I think it compliments the quilt nicely, but doesn't really draw attention to itself.
Now it's your turn to link up those fabulous finishes here. Don't forget to tour the other

Love the layout for this fabric together! It's very pretty and visually interesting. The back is fun too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun quilt! I love how you grouped the colors together. Nice job!
ReplyDeletethe colors in this quilt are perfection!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting this week. I love your finish...the contrast of colors yet simplicity of construction.
ReplyDeleteSO beautiful! Great little quilt with lots of color!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt has great movement in it!
ReplyDeleteYour choice of paring a bright with a cool really makes the design pop and give a great movement to the quilt. How big did it finish?
ReplyDeleteI love the bright fabrics you choose for your projects, this is such a sweet one! thank you for hosting!
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous finish, Janet. I really like how the chevron stands out. And the solid blue binding was a great choice! Thanks for hosting TGIFF!
ReplyDeleteI also just finished a quilt made from large HSTs ... with a completely different arrangement and quilting design. I love the many possibilities there are, starting with a simple triangle square.
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting this week and I love this quilt! You are right on the binding, it compliments it well enough that you aren't drawn to it over the quilt though... as that quilt is beautiful and great choice on color contrast yet it blends so nicely too!
ReplyDeleteGreat finish!
ReplyDeleteGreat finish! When that line first came out I wasn't really blown away by it - I liked the horses of course! - but seeing it in use like this makes me like it so much more. It really does all hold together beautifully, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteGreat fabrics for a wonderful joyful quilt! The backing is so nice as well! Binding perfect choice!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! I have yet to use any Cotton and Steel fabrics, but I love seeing what other quilters are doing with them. So bright and fun. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your Diamond Pastures quilt! Those Cotton and Steel prints are growing on me fiercely.
