Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Vol. 15 Blog Tour + Giveaway - Diamond Twist

Welcome to my stop on the 100 Blocks Blog Tour and I am so glad you found your way here!  I am thrilled to have my third block published in Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks.

If you are new to Quilted Blooms, I'm Paige and you can find out more about me here see some of my finished quilts in the gallery.


Quiltmaker assigns each 12" block to one of four categories - Applique, Foundation-Pieced, Mixed Technique and Pieced.  Diamond Twist Block #1411 is included in the Foundation-Pieced section 100 Blocks Vol. 15.



My previous blocks, It All Adds Up was included in Pieced section of 100 Blocks Vol. 13 and Hexie Flower Basket was included in the Mixed Technique section of 100 Blocks Vol. 14.

Here's the EQ version of the Diamond Twist rendered in Kona Cottons, Marine and Astral.

And here's the original signed block submitted to Quiltmaker.

Diamond Twist block by Paige Alexander

I don't paper piece often, but when I do, I like to use Carol Doak's Foundation Paper (affiliate link).  I even see that there is a legal size (8 1/2" x 14"), Carol Doak's Legal-Size Foundation Paper (affiliate link) which will be needed to print the Diamond Twist templates from Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks.

Using the Diamond Twist block, I made a few quilts designed in EQ to show how versatile the block is to incorporate into different settings.

This first quilt is made from just 5 blocks surrounded by negative space creating a modern design.



This next quilt contains 4 columns of Diamond Twist blocks separated by sashing.



And another quilt without sashing and I changed up the color a bit.



This quilt was made from the same Diamond Twist block with variations in color placement creating an interesting design.



And the same basic design with a little variation using a couple prints from Imprint by Katarina Roccella for Art Gallery.



I had fun with this design and created one more color way using the same Imprint collection.



And one last quilt I'm calling Ribbons of Hope made from 5 full Diamond Twist blocks and 5 half blocks which would be nice for breast cancer awareness.

Would love to sit next to you at EQ7 as you work! I like both EPP and FPP, but would say I prefer FPP. The precision of it, on the sewing machine, makes it a great option. As you know, I follow you on IG, through your blog, and via email. You're a quilty-pal that I'm proud to say I know. Keep up the fabulous work!

  156. I love paper-piecing! I'm self-taught, and it finally clicked and became addictive when I found Peggy Martin's Quick-Strip method book and Craftsy class. Her method is great for assembly-line piecing multiples of the same sections, is easy to use, there's no backward thinking or cutting individual patches.
    I love the "chain" look of some of your options--really reminds me of Celtic knots!

  160. I love paper piecing. It is the section that I first turn to in the 100 Blocks magazine. Somehow it is easy for my brain to do...that is good...as I sure can't applique so this makes up for that. Loved your block and all of the designs that you did with it. Thanks for sharing.

    ReplyDelete
  161. Great block, Paige! I love how changing the colour placement makes such a big difference in the look of a quilt. I paper piece when needed, but it's not my favourite technique :)

    ReplyDelete

  167. I like paper piecing but I don't like the it takes to remove the paper, and I can never get it all off. I love the results but don't always like the extra time it takes.

    ReplyDelete
  168. Paige, I was thrilled to meet you in Paducah. I wish so much that I would have had my picture taken with you. ... And this diamond block is great. I really like all the variations of the block in the quilts you have made. Wonderful! Just wonderful!

  171. I love paper piecing but recently ordered Carol Doak's class to get tips on hpw to be more efficient with it. I love her products as well. Your dia.ond is interesting when it is spaced with backgeoubd and single "stripe" in center. This would make an exceptional Christmas quilt to gift!

  172. I LOVE to paper piece. But I LOVE just about any form of quilting. Your Diamond Twist pattern is making me crazy! Would LOVE to play with it. Your different uses of the pattern and colors are amazing. Thank you for the post and thank you so much for the opportunity to win the 100 magazine. Am now following you on Bloglovin.

  174. I'm sorta new at this, so I haven't tried either of these two methods yet. You block just may inspire me to give it a try. bella(dot)harriger(at)yahoo(dot)com

  175. I have done foundation piecing before, but I am not a fan of it because it takes a lot longer for me to do.
