Stacked Jewels, Version 2
When I love a fabric collection, I like to squeeze the very last snippet of fabric from it. This Stacked Jewels quilt shows what I mean. Can you see what I did?

Here's a clue: check out the jewel patches below and compare with some of those in the outside rows. These were cut from 60 degree diamonds. I cut off one of the points in each.
I made another quilt earlier in the year that uses the same jewels and different borders. I donated this to my local quilt guild. Same quilt center with the same number of patches. These borders are slightly wider.

OK. I'll give you a hint: 6 of the jewels in the first quilt are PIECED! I absolutely did not have enough fabric to cut whole jewels, so I pieced them together. Do you think the recipient will mind? Probably won't even notice!
It's a finished quilt and will bring a smile to whomever gets it, I'm sure. I still have 2 quilt tops that need to be quilted, also made with this fabulous Regency Dandy collection (from almost 20 years ago). Here is the first quilt I designed for Windham. They loved it so much, it hangs in their New Jersey offices to this day!
