Hello Everyone,
I can't tell you how much I have been bursting at the seams to show you this quilt. If you remember back in January I made this tutorial. Well, at the time I was making a quilt that I designed for Quilt Magazine.
The magazine is now out and you can find it in my shop here or on your local newsstands. I had fun designing this one with Australian Aboriginal fabrics and Kona Cotton Solids. Diamonds have always been a favorite of mine and I loved combining these colors to make a diamond zig zag quilt.
Here is a close up of the quilting that I did on the quilt.
Yup, that is me!! My friend Justine took the photo and did a great job. Thank you, Justine!! Although I don't think that I look any younger... LOL!
The quilt can be found in this issue...
and it is a quilt for intermediate quilters or those who are willing to give it a try. Remember you are working with diamonds.
So I had taken a bunch of photos, but my photos can't beat Quilt Magazine's photos, so I will show you theirs...
This is the first photo. They were going for the rumpled teen room look. I love it!!
This is the photo that is in the magazine. I forgot to load the full flat photo of the quilt, but you can see it by clicking here, as I am the exclusive source for the quilt kits to make this quilt. So come and check it out if you would like to give it a try, it is currently available in my shop!
I would love to know what you all think of this design and if you have ever worked with diamonds.
Also, I would love to hear what specialty quilting tools that you like too, but you need to come visit me on my Quilt Magazine Blog Post by clicking here. Leave me a comment there, I would love to know about your favorite quilting gadget.
Until Next Time...

Whoa! That's a serious lotta talent. Great fabrics, too. Perfect quilt to wake up to over coffee. …and I thought it was going to be a rough morning. Forget it. Now we're in the celebratory mood. Congratulations and thanks for sharing. Your quilting really works. Can't leave that out!!! Impressive.
Wowzer! A Jackie Original and it's gorgeous. I've never worked with diamonds but it's on my ever growing "bucket list." Congratulations Diamond Girl!
The quilt is gorgeous and the quilting is divine!
I have never worked with diamonds. Guess there is a trick to dealing with all the bias edges.

Very nice Jackie!! You are right that it is for intermediate. Beginners are not ready for that mismatched point and bias edges. I think diamonds are fun to play with now and then. I think your kit should sell well because the fabrics are great. Congratulations!
I was planning to send you and email this morning to ask if you had blogged about this quilt and I missed it.
It's a beautiful quilt and I was surprised when I opened my magazine yesterday. I love the fabric.
Congtatulations Jackie!! It's a great looking quilt.
Congratulations on being published AGAIN! I have not really worked with diamonds before. Will you need a special ruler for this quilt?
Love it, love it, love it! Congratulations!
Beautiful quilt and the quilting is just gorgeous!
Congratulations! It's a stunning quilt, and I love your quilting! Bravo!
Beautiful quilt! I love the look of diamonds (what gal doesn't!) but they do take patience and a bit of sizing (I use lots of Best Press!)
The quilt is stunning-fabulous colors and I love the aboriginal fabrics. Congratulations to you!
