My friend Melissa over at Sew Bittersweet Designs has designed a new pattern called Dizzying Diamonds and today is the official release! I'm so excited for her.
A few months back she asked me to test the pattern for her and of course I don't know how to say no. I think my husband would even agree with me on that statement.
Anyways I expanded Melissa's pattern since again I can't just leave things alone. I have to make them a bit more challenging and if deciding on the layout wasn't enough I just had to make mine to fit my bed.
I added 2 extra rows to the left and right sides and one extra row to the top and bottom for a finished top size of 84" wide and 96" long.
For my prints I used Simply Color by V. and Company. When picking the contrasting solid I asked for my husband's opinion. He choose 'green', I decided upon the Peridot from Kona. It is a great pattern, Melissa makes all of those half square triangles (HST's) so easy and fast to do. I used approximately 1.5 layer cakes of each the print and the solid.
Melissa, thanks so much for allowing me to test our your pattern. It was a great experience and you have a great talent for writing them.
If anyone is looking for a challenging but easy pattern this is the one.
