Stitching Geometric Brilliance: Exploring the Electric Diamond Paper Piecing Pattern
Back to the Sewing Room! Today you will have an absolute treat if you enjoy modern quilt designs which have bold visual impact. I love foundation paper piecing (FPP) and find it so rewarding with all of the neat lines, pointed tips being so precise and how much easier even the trickiest of shapes can go together when done correctly.

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. So, take out your paper-piecing supplies, print off your template and let's get sewing!
