Simple Diamond Quilt

Filed Under: Craft Tutorials, Sewing Tagged With: Home Decor Sewing

Simple Diamond Quilt Top

I am so happy with how this quilt turned out! Another extremely simple quilt top with an array of bright and pretty fabrics. My parents recently moved into a new house (new to them, it was actually built in the early 1900’s…very neat!) and I thought my mom would like a new quilt for her new home. Her birthday was also coming up so it was the perfect time to make this special throw for her. Interesting fact, my mom and I share a birthday! I was born on her 21st birthday and always thought it would be neat to share my birthday with one of my kids, but it’s not something you can really plan.

 

Simple Diamond Quilt Top

 

I used an array of 5″ squares in the Somerset, Miss Kate, and April Showers prints from Moda.

Construction was simple:

Each block is made up of 3 of the 5″ squares. One solid square for the center, and 4 triangles made by the other 2 squares that have been cut on a diagonal.

Stitch the 4 triangles to the sides of the square and the diamond quilt block is complete! I made this a throw size so I made 35 blocks and added two (4″) borders.

Finished quilt size: 50″ x 64″.

I wasn’t sure if the cream border would stand out enough from the white border, but I really like how it turned out. Subtle and soft.

I finished taking photos of the quilts that I made for my boys last year and can’t wait to share those too. I’m still such a beginner so each quilt top is super simple. Basic shapes and seams. Hopefully they are helpful for other beginners too!

    Such a simple idea, love it! I’ve been wanting to try quilting for some time now, and this seems like a small enough project to try. Thanks!
