Editorial Reviews

Quiltmaker, teacher, and designer Krentz's (Lone Star Quilts and Beyond) concept of the diamond quilt is based on 45-degree diamond or parallelogram shapes pieced together throughout to create a quilt evocative of an Impressionist painting. Making liberal use of full-color photos, she discusses sources of inspiration, fabric selection, and recommended design and construction techniques. A photographic gallery of finished quilts demonstrates the variety of designs that can be based on the simple diamond configuration, which is often embellished with machine appliqu and quilting.
