What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Medallion quilts start with one block, usually larger than the average block, and then surrounded by two or more borders. I like keeping the background the same as the centre block, which sort of makes the whole design look like one very big block.

Some of the border designs leave blank spaces which can be used to add quilted border designs. I am thinking that I will start another medallion quilt project file and along with modifying some of the borders used in this file will add some quilting motifs.

I am not too sure which of these is my ...

Make a block … add a border … add another border … and keep going until the quilt top is big enough for the bed you want to cover.

This project file is all applique borders, but you can mix and match pieced and applique as you wish.

I like both of these two, and would love the centre block in the middle of the first one.

Nice!

The outer border blocks of the second quilt are screaming that they could be joined at the hip. I see some block drawing in my day!

Oh, so pretty!

Oh, sew pretty!

My favourite of the two is … mmmmm … the second, but it is oh, so close!

Love owls … and here is a lovely quilted one.

Love the change in scale of one of the border designs!

The second designs is a bit too busy for my taste.

I love this design … it only needs some very simple quilting to make it just the way I would like it to be.

I like this one too, though I am in the process of redrawing some of the blocks for accuracy, and would probably freshen up the gree, but not by much!

Lovely, neat design.

Interesting!

I am thinking of changing the fabrics in this project file … there are a lot of designs remaining, but the fabric choices lack interest.

I think I would freshen up the greens, and add some brighter flowery colours.

Any suggestions?

Oh, so pretty!

Oh, so Pretty!

I haven’t quite repeated myself … note the capital P for the second one!
