It's not quite Summertime anymore and we are moving with great strides towards autumn. I started this quilt back in July and had every intention of finishing it quickly but then the craft fair lodged itself firmly in between and this gorgeous colorful work in progress had to be halted.
Last weekend then I took it out and I spend some quality time with it, finished piecing it on Saturday and started quilting on Sunday until a nasty cold got hold of me. Hot lemon with ginger is the order of the day since.
I can't tell you how much I enjoyed quilting again, I almost felt deprived of it, which of course is ridiculous but shows me really how much I love quilting and prefer it over making other crafty things.
I played around with the HSTs until I ended up with this pattern that sort of looks like wonky diamonds. I love the strict graphical nature of the pattern but have no idea if it actually has a name. Does anybody know this pattern, does it have a name or did I accidentally create something new ?

This is beautiful, but where on earth do you find the time to be sooo productive?? I'm afraid I can't help with pattern name, but this is very cool and I love the little patterned hsts in there every now and again :)

I love it! In particular the little random prints scattered about. Really gorgeous!

This is a fun quilt! I am not sure if it is an existing pattern but I have not seen it before. It looks like a Harlequin pattern so maybe Google that to see if a pattern comes up?

Absolutely lovely! The crisp bright colors are perfect with white. It's a great summer quilt!

Ahhh, so nice! A friend of mine is doing a similar pattern but with small pieces making up the diamond shape - I don't know the name. I hope you're feeling better real soon.

love the little printy diamonds scattered through it. Who cares if it has a name, it's gorgeous. Hope the lemon and ginger is working :-)

Wow, That quilt is just stunning, what a clever idea to put the HST's together like this. Brilliant!
Thank you for your comments! I love reading them and will answer every question you have on my projects. But I have a very busy daytime job and am therefore not able to thank each and every comment. Please don't be offended if I won't reply.
