Description
When my kids were young, we went to the Herkimer Diamond Mines. There are no real diamonds there. “Herkimer diamonds” are actually clear, double-pointed quartz crystals. But the boys had a blast with little hammers, cracking open rocks to see what was inside. Sometimes we found beautiful black quartz, opaque white quartz, and if we were lucky, a little garnet. Those three colors are reflected in this foundation pieced quilt, with irregular patterns just like the rocks we smashed that afternoon.
Flawed Diamonds sets those rough-cut gems in the deep raven, glowing magenta, and soft primrose of Hoffman’s Onyx Glow collection.
