How to make an Amish Diamond Quilt Block- Block #2 of 12- Video Quilt Along

This is the second part of a 12- block video quilt along. Every few weeks I will post a video tutorial on a new quilt block. At the end of the quilt along you will have completed 12 blocks (each measuring 12″ x 12″) and then I will post videos showing you how to sew them together and also how to finish the whole quilt.

This block only requires 2 different fabrics and is the perfect block for a beginner to start practicing matching up intersecting points when sewing pieces together.

If you would like to follow along but are not confident with your sewing or quilting skills I suggest you watch this video first: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SEVinxX2IQ

I hope you’ll join us and spread the word!
