Diamond Strings

Amy decided that it was time to tame her brown scrap bin and she came up with the sweet idea.  The pattern she used is a free Bonnie Hunter Tutorial called Diamond Strings.

The beautiful cream sections were calling out for some custom quilting, and we decided on a light custom quilting plan that involved no rulers, only freehand quilting.

I enjoyed the freedom of quilting this one with a variety of loops and curls, curves and feathers in the border.

I love the pattern that emerged on the backing.  Not quilting around all the blocks and between the borders gives nice relaxed quilting look.
