I started this quilt for C last spring, and I finally finished it this week. For some reason I just couldn't get motivated to finish this thing once I started, and it sat on my sewing table for months. Finally I forced myself to just get it done, and once I started up again it went pretty quickly.
I copied the diamond pattern from a kids quilt I saw in a kids furnishings catalog (I think Land of Nod), it is machine pieced and quilted. The quilting is in the ditch, so there is a pretty diamond pattern on the back.
This is the first quilt I have signed. I free motioned "To Clara, Love Mom 2008" on two of the diamonds near the bottom of one of the quilt corners. Hopefully this one will stand the test of time and lots of washings!
