Final Thoughts
The Electric Diamond block is a really great block to sew up for stashing and a very fun weekend sew! The key to this block is to pay attention to the tonal values and contrast of the fabrics, taking a bit more time to audition your color palette, or even snap a quick photo in black and white on your phone to see how your colors contrast will make all the difference in the world to the finished gem.
