Regina's Diamond Alley Quilt
This gorgeous version of Diamond Alley was made by Regina Parys. She chose a medley of blue and turquoise fabrics for the diamonds and a solid white for the background. This combo makes me think of the Mediterranean.

This a bright Springy version of our Wiley Way quilt pattern. I thought we could all use a little warmth and brightness in between holidays. We used Birds of a Feather by Mark Hordyszynski for Michael Miller Fabrics along with a few coordinating brights.
