Diamond Detour in Batiks

Diamond Detour in Batiks

We love batiks. In fact, we have quite a large stash collection of them! So, we decided to make a version of the Diamond Detour in our favorite batik color combination. We pulled lime, purple, blue and turquoise printed batiks for the pieced diamonds and a gorgeous beige bubble print for the background.
Adding Prints to the Diamond Detour

Adding Prints to the Diamond Detour

The cover quilt of the Diamond Detour is all about solids, so today we are going to focus on adding prints to the quilt. The Diamond Detour is a great way to show off your favorite prints. We have two examples today that are completely different! One features different prints in the pieced diamonds and the other features one busy print as the background.

Say hello to the newest pattern of the Sassafras Lane bunch, Diamond Detour! This is our fun new take on our popular Diamond Alley quilt pattern. We made the diamonds smaller and ditched the sashing.

George the Bear

George the Bear

Meet George the bear, one of the newest additions to the Zoey's Zoo bunch! My Mom made and quilted this adorable bear for our neighbor's newest grandson. My mom used two tone-on-tone browns for the bear, a turquoise chevron for the background, a lime for the churndash, a grey dot for the background and assorted lime, aqua and teal scraps for behind the letters.
Alayna's Shelby Satchel

Alayna's Shelby Satchel

This Shelby Satchel is one of the first bags we made. We made it with my little sister in mind, and surely enough, she had it claimed before it was finished. We used a fun owl print for the flap, a red print for the bag body and a yellow polkadot for the accent.
