That is very nice! I like that you used a few shades of blue for the quilt. Is the design in black from a rubber stamp? How did you do that part?
Thanks Vickie! Yes, that image was rubber stamped - multiple times on different papers, cut apart, then reassembled. So that one is actually 3 layers deep - the 9 patches, glued to a whole white piece, glued to a whole turquoise piece.
The Prairie Points are a nod to Gretchen who used to love the Prairie Points that Granny would bind her quilts with. Gretchen would love those points to shreds!
As much as I like tedious - they are even a bit much for me. I punch a whole mess of tiny diamonds with a hand squeeze punch, then apply them to double stick tape on the back of the quilt with tweezers. So you are only seeing the top half of the diamond. Once they are in place, I secure them with a piece of regular tape over the top. Like I said, pretty labor intensive.
