Faces and Shoes.
This is a quilt I made a young teenager whose sister survived cancer. Our guild makes quilts for children with cancer and their siblings. It is made from shoes and faces by Katulle. The 3 diamonds in the quilt represents the 3 sisters.

Sooo cool; the diamonds are eye-catching and the designs really pop against the black.
this quilt is stunning .. a real work of art.. thank you for sharing.
Beautiful quilt. I like the diamond idea. And each one has a different color on top.

While I was making the quilt I received my copy of British Patchwork in the mail and there was pattern for the diamond in it and I knew immediately it would work great in the quilt and the different colour for each sister worked great.

Thank you all. Without the wonderful designs for inspiration we would not be able to create these wonderful quilts. My co-worker fell in love with this quilt and I am currently making another one using all this wonderful embroidery. He wants the quilt as a surprise for his grand-daughters 21st Bday.
It's stunning and like how you included the three diamonds for the sisters.
Another really stricking quilt, well done and my favorite colors.
Having just made my first quilt I am in awe of any quilt that appears on this site. You have done a brilliant job. Sarah
Great quilt, unfortunately I can't see it really well, it appears blurred when I enlarge it. Great designs and love the diamonds. Love chris
Are the squares appliqued onto the dark background?
It's very effective. Jan

The designs are all embroidered on the black fabric, with a 1 1/2 trim around each block. I laid out the blocks and then filled in with more black fabric.Before sewing the grey to the black I put a red piping (1" piece folded in half) around each block.
