In November I was given the chance to be one of the "ambassadors" for
Cotton Cuts, a company that delivers quilting fabric based on your preferences.
As an ambassador, I was sent three one-yard cuts of Alison Glass's line,
Diving Board.
Two of the prints were gorgeous symmetrical prints, one in warm tones and one in cool tones. As I contemplated what to make in the short period of time I was allotted, I decided to "upsize"
Delta Breeze, one of my favorite designs ever.
The original block size was 8", so I doubled that to 16". In addition to the gorgeous prints, I added coordinating solids from my stash.
The small block looked like this:
The large one looked like this:
Darby chose a nice wavy quilting design.
The chartreuse fabric that was included proved to be the perfect choice for the binding.
Based on the name of the fabric line, I also named the quilt Diving Board. Which made finding a diving board an obvious choice for a photo op. Luckily, good friends Gary and Ruth have a lovely backyard with a beautiful pool.
Quilt Name: Diving Board
Quilt Size: 48" x 48"
Designed and Made by: Me
Quilted by Darby Myers

Another gorgeous quilt finish Cindy! It is such an unusual colour palette with the little pops of yellow!
I like the way the colors work together, Beautiful
I love the multisized blocks. Great idea.
How did I miss this one? I think I commented on your IG, that's why. I love what you did with the fabric (as I find it difficult)--you always do inspire!
Those prints are fabulous and so is the quilt.
