Diamonds 2 Quilt Along, Part 7: Quilting Row Six
Welcome back to the Diamonds 2 Quilt-Along! I’m BERNINA Expert Amanda Murphy and this month we’ll quilt the middle row of the sampler. Since the quilt is horizontally symmetrical, you already have all the instructions for the other rows so you will be set to finish the quilt!

If you missed the first five parts of the quilt-along you can find them here:

- Diamonds 2 Quilt Along, Part 2: Quilting Row One
- Here you can find general directions on handle quilting order on both a longarm and sit-down or domestic machine.
- Diamonds 2 Quilt Along, Part 3: Quilting Row Two
- Diamonds 2 Quilt Along, Part 4: Quilting Row Three
- Diamonds 2 Quilt Along, Part 5: Quilting Row Four
- Diamonds 2 Quilt Along, Part 6: Quilting Row Five
If you have a Q16 or Q20 on the frame, you’ll want to first stabilize the top half of this row by quilting around the diamonds in the center of it. Then you’ll complete the quilting in the upper half, roll the quilt up, and stabilize the bottom half of the row by quilting along its bottom. Then you’ll quilt the lower half of the row. If you have a Q24, you could quilt along the bottom of the row and around the diamonds, and then complete the quilting for the entire section in one pass. (If you are on a domestic you have probably done all your stitch-in-the-ditch work already, as described in a previous post.)

Diamonds 2 – How to Quilt the Middle Row
So there you have it! You’ll complete the rest of the piece by quilting a mirror image of the first four rows – just upside-down! And I’ll meet you back here in a couple of months, on June 8th, to show you how to use all of those triangles you cut off when piecing to make an optional bonus quilt!

I have had more fun sewing this quilt. Used my 790 domestic machine, so nowhere NEAR as pretty as yours. A lot of slipping, sliding, and use of terrible words but did finish. I can only guess your husband or you are engineers to figure out all the lines and placement of your templets. They work perfectly so please keep making them. Thanks to your online class, I registered at my local dealership, Sew This, and signed up for the heart panel class. Thank you to you and Bernina USA.
