Two friends and I have
challenged each other to build a medallion quilt. We contemplated a round
robin, but being 3 states apart and shipping being what it is, (not to mention
the everyday stresses that we are all sharing now) we decided to keep it
simple. Each of us chose a pattern for a “round” and we ended up with, Flying
Geese, Half Square Triangles and 4-Patch with stars as an added bonus wherever
we could fit them.
Both of my friends have
gorgeous appliqued centers. Because my “Community Supper” quilt is taking up so
much of my time right now, I decided to go simple. I have wanted to use this
Petra Prins and Nel Kooiman panel for quite a while. I adore it!
I am using Moda’s aged muslin
for my background and one of my favorite “eccentric” prints as my plain
borders. Having a ball so far! On to the next round.
And, in between this project
and a few others I made this little baby quilt for a friend’s son who is
expecting a baby girl. I love the little vintage Sunbonnet Sue in the center. I
have been collecting 30’s novelty prints for years so it was no problem to come
up with 150 or so of them. It will be traveling to California so I used a very
lightweight cotton batting.
Enjoy your quilting time
today.
What a darling challenge quilt and the center is perfect!
ReplyDeleteI want to thank Dr Emu a very powerful spell caster who help me to bring my husband back to me, few month ago i have a serious problem with my husband, to the extend that he left the house, and he started dating another woman and he stayed with the woman, i tried all i can to bring him back, but all my effort was useless until the day my friend came to my house and i told her every thing that had happened between me and my husband, then she told me of a powerful spell caster who help her when she was in the same problem I then contact Dr Emu and told him every thing and he told me not to worry my self again that my husband will come back to me after he has cast a spell on him, i thought it was a joke, after he had finish casting the spell, he told me that he had just finish casting the spell, to my greatest surprise within 48 hours, my husband really came back begging me to forgive him, if you need his help you can contact him with via email: Emutemple@gmail.com or add him up on his whatsapp +2347012841542 is willing to help any body that need his help.
DeleteI do love those vintage print centers and the baby quilt is so cute! All the '30's prints mixed with the white make such a bright, cheerful quilt!
ReplyDeleteLovely use of the fabric and the embroidery for the center of your quilts. Great idea for your round robin. I agree that postage is a little alarming these days. I keep trying to find ways to do it better. Your baby quilt will be cherished!
ReplyDeletesweet little sue indeed...can't wait to see the medallion finish!
ReplyDeleteGood use of your novelty prints and the Panel too! The little quilt looks fantastic with the geese border.:)
ReplyDeleteSuper sweet baby quilt and your challenge quilt is coming along nicely, too!
ReplyDeleteOh, what a sweet beginning. This is going to be a fun 'Round Robin'. I love the color of the border, that fabric is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteLove your Medallion beginning!
ReplyDeleteThis post is just a delight of sweetness and joy. Your new challenge quilt would be a perfect mini for the month just as it is, in fact I thought at first that's what it was! The baby quilt with sweet Sue and all the conversation prints might just be the best I-spy baby quilt ever.
ReplyDeleteI love that pink "solid" that you used after the first border.
ReplyDeleteLooking good!!!
And the baby quilt is fabulous, too.
Can't believe you even have the time to get this done with all the Covid quilting time, not to mention your real JOB!!
love ya
Two adorable quilts!
ReplyDeleteYou are the most prolific quilter I know!
Wendy, I love both of these projects! Please show the next lYers of your medallion quilt. What a good idea!
ReplyDeleteYou chose a very pretty pre-print medallion for your center. I don't think I have that one in stash but do have some others. Smart to do your own round robins. With postage costs and sometimes slow mail delivery it is a wise choice.
ReplyDeleteLove your center medallion and what you've done so far with it. The pink! So pretty - will be fun to see how your next round goes. And what a sweet baby quilt!!
ReplyDeleteYour medallion project is so sweet with the eccentric! I have to look that up again, as I forget what that means, lol. The center is getting great support from your borders.
ReplyDeleteYour baby quilt is adorable! You amaze me. I love the embroidery center. Baby will love to see all those sweet squares.
Love how quilty friends are being so creative. Drawing out the colors from the centerpiece and adding the eccentric border is fantastic. Continuing with your medallion theme, Sunbonnet Sue is perfect surrounded by her thrifty thirty prints.
ReplyDeleteYour medallion center is beautiful--I will enjoy watching this one grow! The baby quilt is adorable. I have a pretty sizable collection of 30's prints also and need to start using them!
ReplyDeleteThe non-round-robin sounds like fun! Your starting center panel is gorgeous and the colors you've pulled out for the flying geese are yummy!
ReplyDeleteYour medallion quilt is off to a great start. Must be fun doing the same project with friends. I have that same panel and was planning on putting my Mary Witherwax blocks around it. I need to get that back out and work on it some more.
