Bordered Diamonds

I bought Afghan Book 2 (Leisure Arts 2) when it was first published and fell in love with it. Unfortunately, it’s been out of print for quite a few years. However, by popular request, Leisure Arts offers several of the afghans for digital download. Bordered Diamonds is a pattern I’ve made at least a dozen times over the years. I’ve even made several downsized baby afghan versions of it.

The pattern is a series of panels that are slip stitched together. It’s a fun afghan to make as there is such a variety of stitches involved. Below is a picture of the last time I made it. The colors were chosen to match the quilt in my sister-in-law had made for her bedroom.
