This wonderful method of cutting diamonds without using a single template is made even easier when someone also precuts all the strips for you...
The designer says....."Inspired by a tattered old antique quilt that I happened upon in a quilt book, this fresh new version sprang to life when one of the new MODA fabric bundles, the Jelly Roll, arrived on my doorstep! These Jelly Roll bundles contain a 2 1/2" strip of every fabric in a new line and give you a great chance to use your imagination with strips without having to cut them yourself. What could be better!".
Whether or not you are working with Jelly Rolls, this quilt is a quick, fun way to make all of those diamonds without all of the work. Combining simple strip piecing & cutting, this quilt can literally be made over the weekend and will work great in any color or style palette. If you've ever been intimidated by making diamonds, this is the time to try!
Pattern includes detailed descriptions and hints on how to make quick & accurate diamonds every time!
