Hey all,
It's me Aaron again. I need some more advice. I was reading patchwork & quilting magazine the other day and found a darling quilt. Well I have looked on line for the pattern and only found it from a company in Australia. I was going to by it but didn't know if the measurments not be USA standards. So should I buy it or cant someone help me out. If you google diamond and braid quilt you will see what the quilt looks like. Thanks for all your help. Aaron
Love the photo, it is just beautiful.
That is a pretty pattern. let us know if you find it! Have never done a braid, but it looks like fun.
you might not need to buy a pattern. You could try and figure out your own pattern (I've done that once before). Try watching this video for some help http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpHAp_pyVXQ
Rosie,
Thats what I am going to do for the braid part just need to know the diamond part. http://www.patchworkangel.com.au/oscomm/allprods.php This is where I found the pattern but it's in australia.... WIll it work?

Here is a link to a diamond strip pattern. These are more diamond shaped where the one in the photo above are squares set on point. Could be an easy enough transformation though.

Aaron, I'm in Australia, I'm curious as to what about the pattern you think wouldn't work. You say: "didn't know if the measurments not be USA standards", what standards are you referring to? Our measurements when it comes to inches for quilting are the same as yours. The exception may be that we would possibly give fabric purchasing requirements as metres rather than yards. But in terms of the cutting instructions etc they are going to be in inches, you shouldn't have any problems. I hope that helps in some way.

Wonderful quilts Aaron! Be sure to keep posting.
Hugs,
very nice!
Great quilt pictures, Aaron! I really love the one in your avatar picture here! Is that applique?
you sew like I do....in my jammies. Much more comfortable that way! I like how you have your patterns in a 3 ring binder...I really need to do that, i'm so unorganized, I have patterns all over the place and cant find them when I want them.
Great pictures! What started as a hobby years ago turned into a passion. Keep up the great work.
Gorgeous quilts, Aaron. All are truly lovely.
Aaron - your quilts are beautiful! I love the one with the flowers - so bright and cheerful!
The one with the flowers I made for my daughter who will be 7 on June 16. I also made a small scrap book of how I made the quilt and a few little notes so when she is older she can look back and know where I got the pattern, who helpped me. Thing like that.
Hello,
I would like to know where I can get some Dinosaur fabric? I checked on line but didn't find anything helpful. Any advice?
