There are a lot of medallion quilts around at the moment, and seeing them reminded me of one I'd started some years ago.
The centre was made about 4 years ago from 10 strips from a jelly roll. (or 10 x 2.5 inch strips.) Join them, long ends together, press. Cut in half (appx 22 x 22"). Put one on top of the other, right sides together, with one side having horizontal stripes, one vertical. Stitch all around all 4 sides. Cut diagionaly into quarters, press open
Sometime later I added a yellow border, and then must have decided to add pink into the mix, as I added the pink dashed border
later again I found a bit of pink and some orange in my stash and added a chequer board row
Today I decided to have a go at adding some flying geese blocks. I used the 'no waste method' where you make 4 at a time. I then wasn't sure how to arrange them, but I'm really pleased with this chevron arrangements
On the other end I put the HSTs that I made a few weeks ago with that printed iron on interfacing stuff
Followed with a vanishing nine patch row
And finished with the remaining Flying Chevrons
I'm not sure that I like it much, but I liked each separate componant, and it certainly cant be accused of being a dull quilt!
As with yesterday's Star of Africa top, this has been pieced, basted and quilted as I went along, so all that now needs to be done is the binding, but I'm all pinked out, so this can wait.
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
