Fractured Diamonds

Another UFO out of the to-be-quilted cabinet. I finished piecing this on May 14, 2014. Not sure where the pattern came from. It started out as 80x100 and is now 78x98. My first inclination was to do a panto on it, but thought the pattern was too pretty for that. It's pretty scrappy, except for the light green squares that match the border.

I never found a path across without many stops and starts and multiple backtracks. Seems like every other line was a back track.

Every row was 4 passes.....for the CC, and then for the feathers and SID. happy to be finished with this one.

This took 19 bobbins....more than i have used on a quilt in a long time.

The back is a muslin

I had a few thread goobers on the back also but just can't get too excited about them.

Top thread was Glide Jade and bobbin was So Fine brown. Binding was a brown stripe.
