A couple of Sweet Treats from Pincushion Boutique and a few extra fat quarters in jewel patterns and colors provided the starting point for this quilt. Luckily, I had perfect border and background fabrics in my stash.
Deb Tucker's 'Sea Glass' quilt top pattern was perfect for the fat quarters and the fabric colors. And using Deb Tucker's fabulous rulers, Diamond Rect and Square Squared, made my piecing look better than ever.
When the top was finished, I knew precisely how I wanted to quilt it--with patterns that look like jewels. So I created digitized patterns that look like faceted gems and pearls: 'Gems and Jewels Set'. It turned out just like I envisioned--quilted jewelry.
