Medallion style quilting definitely has its advantages. I was able to comfortably FMQ (free-motion quilt) each medallion which is something I can't do easily with a full quilt sandwich. But, it also is quite tedious. Putting together each block in order gets a bit tiresome. I guess I'm ready for this project to be d-o-n-e!
I show you... progress!
A wild, sampler quilt made with scraps of fabric from all over the place.
So close! I'm almost there! What's left? I've got to sew together 4 strips of the blue stand-in fabric (ran out of the original) and random scraps for the back and then even up the edges. Somehow even though I measured my blocks and I thought they were all the same, one row of medallions is slightly larger than all the rest. Dunno what I did differntly, but I just need that last gust of energy to finish this up!
Also, some advice. Keep your fancy yarns away from enthusiastic FMQ'ing. Tee hee!
Still not sure how I did that.
Also, don't forget to enter this week's giveaway which ends Wednesday, November 27th. I'm giving away a lovely silk/mohair scarf! See giveaway post here.
