Diamonds in the Sky is a brilliant, high contrast quilt. Deb Tucker's Corner Beam blocks are used throughout the design to build an alternating diamond illusion that simply radiates beauty. Created easily with a medley of fat quarters for the stars, the block suits a collection of 6 inch strips or scraps of bright fabric you already own. Any way you make it, Diamonds in the Sky is a dynamite, dramatic, stash-buster project. Bring your own fabric; see supply list for details.
