lovely bit o' quilt

We were in the Berkshires last weekend, and the house where we stayed has the most awesome little quilt hanging on the bedroom wall. Actually, I don't know if it's a mini quilt per se. It looks like it may just be a piece of a larger quilt that someone salvaged and framed. It's hand-quilted, and it looks like the diamonds may have been paper-pieced. Suffice it to say, if this was much larger, it must have entailed a ton of work. I love the design and am now daydreaming about making a quilt like this in modern fabrics.
