A little sunshine on a dreary day

I have always loved triangles and had played with lots of layouts, but when "Spectacular Scraps" by Hooworth and Rolfe was published, it revived my interest and wow, the colors in the book! I pulled a lot of reds and yellows and started piecing and playing. I even got a chance to use one of the large prints from the early 1990's for the border.
I used my embroidery machine and a card of quilting designs to quilt the center of the diamonds.
I made 2 quilts from this combination of colors and then gave all of the leftover pieced squares to a friend.
