Jo Morton - Andover - Love this one. It is so fun to see how they turn out. Here is a little trick to help you with fabric selection. You will need your diamond template, fabric and a mirror. My mirror was a gift, thanks Nicole. She got it at Sephora. Lay your template on the fabric like you are thinking about cutting it. Look in the mirror and it gives you an idea of how it will come out. Neat trick, I learn a lot from my customers.
