A Crisscross Diamond Quilt : :

Each Summer, my big, wonderful family all spend a week together in a house right on the beach somewhere in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. We're in Duck again this Summer, and just as I did last year, I brought along a newly finished quilt to photograph and to share while I'm here!





This Crisscross Diamond quilt is my newest quilt-as-you-go style quilt. A repetitive, colorful block pattern made using Pat Bravo's most recent fabric collection, Etno, with Art Gallery Fabric Prisma Elements. I love these colors together!



Measuring in at a large 80" square, the top beach house balcony worked so well for photographing!



We didn't take it down to the beach until the sun was beginning to set, but the light was so pretty!





For the back I used one of my favorite Etno prints, Pat's sketchy floral Stitched Anthomania. The bright aqua Pyramid print binding is the perfect pop of color to frame all my busy patchwork!





I'm so happy with how it turned out, it's a new favorite for sure!





I'm already thinking of ideas for the quilt I'll bring next year. Perhaps something Wild & Free!
