Out under a soft, cloud-washed sky and a fence line of weathered wood, Liz's @joystitched Prairie Diamonds Quilt glows like a field of wildflowers! 💐⁠
⁠
This quilt is built from Half Square Triangle blocks, proof that simple shapes can sing when you give them color, value, and a little intention. To create the diamond rings, Liz sprinkled in lighter, low volume prints—those are the pathways your eye follows to the center. Scrappy works beautifully here; the variety in the Radiant Flourish Batiks is what gives the quilt its sparkle.⁠
⁠
Radiant Flourish Batiks are available in shops and online, and you can visit our blog for construction tips and quilting details from Liz! Blog link in bio.
