Sweet Diamonds Top Finish

Ta Da!  Even though I have been busy getting the new brick and mortar location for Pink Castle Fabrics ready (soon!  very very soon!) I somehow managed to finish a quilt top.  Back in September of last year I started this quilt.  I couldn’t sleep one night and I was browsing Pinterest on my iPhone (as I do most nights) and I decided to just get up and start making a quilt.  I really liked this quilt and I just started pulling fabrics.  It’s a pretty simple and traditional pattern but I wanted to take it a more modern and bright direction.

I’m very excited with the way it turned out.  And I’m really loving the Spot On tiny dots from Robert Kaufman.  I used them here for the sashing and the small black squares.  It’s really a great size dot and very “in” right now in fashion.   Here’s a closer photo for a better view of the sashing:

My sister is already trying to claim this quilt.  We’ll see Lauren!  Now to decide how to have it quilted…
