Medallion Quilt Layout Plan

 med4

Here are my next 4 blocks for the Medallions QAL.  Thought I would get some blues and greens in the mix.  Here they are with the other blocks I have made so far.

Now that I have a few blocks to play with I wanted to see if a layout idea of mine would work. I thought it would look neat to offset the blocks in alternating rows like in the picture below.

Yes I definitely prefer this layout as I can see more quilting possibilities with the background fabric now connected. I see flowing feather in there now! :)

I’ll just need to make a few half blocks to fill in the top and bottom of the alternating rows.

  3. This is one of those quilt-alongs that really pulls at me! I can't believe I've been so good at resisting. Love your offset layout. That definitely looks more like you and better-suited for your quilting. :)

  7. That is a great idea.... It looks fab... I only have three blocks made so far.... I'm also making separate coloured blocks like you rather than the same colour border.
