I've finally finished quilting this little quilt. I am delighted with the result. This is my first time doing a concentric diamond pattern and I did really enjoy myself. Now that I know what I am doing, I will work harder to make it a little less wonky. You could easily use seams as your guide to make a point, pivot and start up the next side. I did not think that through from my first diamond, so it was hard to fix as I got further and further in.
Can you see the little yellow diamonds on the back?
Now to bind it. I was thinking of a lime green or a purple solid. I'll "interview" a few possibilities the next few days and we will see what works.

Purple please-I think it would make a great contrast to the backing! It is a very pretty quilt!
I think I would go for a darker binding to frame the quilt. I love the quilt it is so fresh and pretty.
It's adorable! I usually go with a darker contrasting binding to frame a quilt as well. Purple would be gorgeous. Well done!
its a cracker if a quilt. Love the purple idea too. Will set it all off a treat
I'd hit the purples Cindy, looks adorable!
This is a beautiful little quilt. Just to be different my vote goes for green binding! Di x
it looks wonderful... and see the bench came in useful! Why not a differen colour on each side?
Gorgeous quilting! I'm going to buck the trend and say lime green :D
Great Quilting. I wouldn't like to say which colour to use - I'd have to try them out too!
brilliant! I like the way you started the quilting line.
Great job, I've been trying that exact quilting myself, its taking me for-ev-ah. Shall spur myself on with how awesome yours looks!
Your quilt is beautiful, even on that sorry bench.
So darn cute! I think Pezzy is my favorite fabric ever. I'm doing a pezzy churndash right now. Thanks for sharing!
So pretty and I love, love, love the quilting!
Gorgeous! Love that quilting - perfect choice.
beautiful, and I so love your quilting, such a perfect choice.
Not wonky...organic! It's beautiful Cindy - you have done those wonderful pezzies justice and then some :)
It's beautiful and the quilting suits it perfectly.
Perfect quilt on the novelty bench!
Lovely! And I don't think the rotting wooden furniture is unique to Galway -- here in mostly sunny Sydney we have had to replace the timber in out outdoor benches a couple of times!
Heh, no, definitely not the climate for that kind of furniture ;o)
Love how you've done the quilting :o)
Love those Pezzy prints and your quilting looks wonderful!
That's a fun little quilt and congrats to you for trying a new quilting pattern!
It's beautiful! Have fun interviewing binding candidates!
P.S. I suspect the bench won't last long once your gorgeous dog discovers it!
I was thinking a Red Pepper-like striped binding in black/white would be awesome - or some other colour combo! Love the quilting - it is delicious!
Poor bench it may well get munched by Molly!
