Diamonds for Tina Sue ~ Blogger's Quilt Festival

My entry for ...
Amy's Creative Side
Diamonds for Tina Sue
I found a tutorial on The Modern Quilt Guild's blog to make the half rectangle triangle. By placing the dark side of the rectangles together the diamonds came to life.
I really enjoyed sewing the wonky letters together to make her name.
Here's the little sweetie pie!

  8. This is so sweet! I did a run of blue and yellow quilts, years ago, and they are still some of my most cheerful! I've never pieced words into one, though! This is great!

  9. That quilt just dances between the diamonds and the zig zag. Tina sure is lucky.
