And paler ones to set it off, if this is to be a wall hanging, maybe just a narrow flanged binding, if it is going to be part of something larger, I agree that pale grey or very pale taupe would set off those jewels beautifully, You are an artist for sure.Nancy Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854698513524662527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514394646355489375.post-66851351966105833392016-11-04T03:29:24.014-07:002016-11-04T03:29:24.014-07:00I'm not a quilter, so I don't have any sug...I'm not a quilter, so I don't have any suggestions, but I think it looks lovely so far.

I just love they're beautiful work! <br /><br />That said, you "diamond" is so amazingly beautiful! I love the fabric choices, it has such depth!

I'd set this against scrap-pieced neutrals, if it were mine. I actually had a plan to do just this thing (scrappy diamonds, not the same configuration as yours), and am working on a blue string in diamonds now. <br /><br />Carole S.momto1https://www.blogger.com/profile/08078861827642401321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514394646355489375.post-59830240774462799002016-10-31T22:14:50.042-07:002016-10-31T22:14:50.042-07:00Leah Day does something with bungee cords and clam...Leah Day does something with bungee cords and clamps to help support the weight of the quilt. That might be worth looking into. Renting time on a long arm is still quilting it yourself. And recently a shop near me started renting time on a sit down midarm which is the option I would lean towards. Definitely want your quilt basted and quilting planned ahead for that. And then you could rent a few hours at a time if that's all your back (and budget) could handle at once. Your innate creativity is a constant inspiration. You are fluent with so many mediums that I have always struggled with.

I would use some light colors/neutral diamonds to fill the corners, so that the negative space around the colors is not so plain... and I would add scraps of colors just to make it more fun! <br />I hear you about quilting and back pain... it's terrible for my shoulders too! With this piecing design and size, I would do straight line quilting with my walking foot, probably following the angle of the diamond. You could add more line to make it random crosshatch too. <br />I am looking forward to see how you finish this beauty!!AlidaPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06967934556463918222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514394646355489375.post-50769732397039159862016-10-31T04:47:56.461-07:002016-10-31T04:47:56.461-07:00I like the idea of putting the yellow diamond in t...I like the idea of putting the yellow diamond in the center of the bright diamonds and filling in the background with light colored neutrals, altho not such tiny pieces.
