I was able to work on my Medallion quilt this weekend and even got the binding on last night. This was a QAL project from Jenny’s Sew Kind Of Wonderful blog. They were very fast and easy to make and I changed the layout of mine to an offset pattern. I used my hand dyed fabrics for the colourful frames in the blocks and a commercial batik for the centers.
Quilted a continuous feather in the background and a flower motif in the centers of the medallions.
I wasn’t sure at first how to handle the outside edges of the background but then came up with the curved pebble design instead of trying to squish feathers on the other side. I didn’t quilt on the hand dyed fabrics as I wanted those to pop so just SID around them.
Wonderful! Your Quilt looks fantastic, I like that the Hand dyed fabrics are not quilted.

ReplyDeleteKathy! This quilt is gorgeous! The setting really makes the feathered quilting stand out. And the hand dyed fabrics are beautiful. Definitely a quilt to drool over :)
ReplyDeleteit's gorgeous Kathy. The offset blocks are a nice touch, and the quilting is a perfect highlight to the piecing.
ReplyDeleteLove, love this one Kathy. Almost done with my blocks. do fun to see what everyone is doing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I am looking forward to seeing your Medallion quilt in person.
ReplyDeleteOh you nailed it! Love the quilting and the pebbles along the outside---genius!!! I'm so going to try to get mine quilted this month!!!
ReplyDeleteBesides having a terrific quilt I'm loving seeing how everyone's is turning out-from the different fabric choices and now the quilting.
Gorgeous quilt and quilting.
ReplyDeleteLove your alternate layout! So far mine is just a pile of blocks. I'm trying to decide if I want to add diamonds or not.
ReplyDeleteYour quilting really enhances the quilt.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt. The colors, layout, and quilting are wonderful. Good job.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on both the quilt and quilting! I love that you omitted quiting in your hand dyed fabric, the offset diamonds allow the eye to float along the string of feathers! WELL DONE KATHY!

ReplyDeleteAnother beauty. Love the layout, the fabrics, and your quilting, as always, is spot on. Beautiful

ReplyDeleteI love the pebbling inside the feathers. It's one of my favourite quilting patterns, and you've used it so well here. Those medallions really do pop!
