How to Make a Diamond Quilt Block

Bonjour Quilts has a wonderful tutorial for making a unique and modern diamond quilt block. While this technique probably is not best suited to beginner quilters, it’s easier than it looks and you’ll be making a quilt from these blocks in no time.

With detailed instructions and photos, you don’t need any special tools, only your standard quilting supplies.

I can see this block in all sorts of color combinations. You could even do a little color placement in the center to get a look of some dimension if you wanted to.

Perfect for a fabric line or scraps from your fabric stash, this is a unique block with a modern twist.

Every quilter has been there.

You’re halfway through a quilt top when the rotary cutter suddenly feels dull, your seam allowance starts wandering, the iron is too hot for that fabric, and somehow your thread has knotted itself into a tiny ball of frustration.

That’s exactly the kind of moment where a book like 200 Sanity-Saving Tips, Tricks, and Hacks for Quilters by Ellen Perez earns its place beside your sewing machine.

This Kindle guide is essentially a problem-solver for quilters, packed with clever little techniques, shortcuts, and “why didn’t I think of that?” tricks that make the entire quilting process smoother.

Inside the book you’ll find tips covering:

Many of the ideas are surprisingly simple, but that’s exactly the point. These are the small adjustments that can dramatically improve your workflow.
