It's one of my goals this year to make all the quilts we offer in a solid version and when I saw the Mythical Tula Pink Solids layer cake, I knew it was perfect of the Diamond Plate design. Read on to about the Tula Pink Diamond Plate Throw Quilt to get all the details!

Mythical Tula Pink Solids from Free Spirit
First off I did score this beautiful layer cake on sale, which I am always stoked about! Second off isn't the change of the fabric from pastels to saturated colors absolutely stunning? I hadn't come across another layer cake like this Mythical Tula Pink Solids from Free Spirit, so I grabbed it up and have no regrets about it. I paired it with my favorite Off White Bella Solid from Fat Quarter Shop!
Binding
I know it may be hard to tell but I came across this perfect Sky color PBS solid in my stash and thought it would be a complimentary add to the quilt. I wanted something that wouldn't clash with the deep tones and wanted something that would play with the backing as well.

Backing
I recently purchased some bolts of Fireside fabric from Moda in a natural color and I love the texture of it. It doesn't have quite the loft as milky - which means it quilts up beautifully without poking up through the front of your quilt. The natural color has quite the yellow undertone, but with it being on the back I didn't think it would be such an issue. The only downfall with Fireside is that it only comes in a 60", so you will have to piece your backing. I don't find that to be much of a concern, but like to be upfront with you.
Quilting
I felt with the solids and the wide variety of colors and hues in the layer cake that adding a bit of movement with the Rondelle pantograph was the perfect addition to this quilt top. It's been a favorite of mine for this last season but the first time I've used it on one of my quilts!
