Yikes! I sure don't know where the summer went... it seems almost impossible that September is here..
 |
| September 1st is the reveal for round four of the Gwennie Inspired Medallion Quilt Along. At this point my top measures 49.5" square. I believe round five will be the final round and I'm excited to learn what the "theme" will be. See more medallions HERE  |
 |
| As I mentioned in my previous post, I appliqued down the orange flange between rounds three and four, added a round of Maverick Stars, and went back to round three to add some hexies. I've been using lots of (for me) "out of the box" colors: orange, pink and purple. And surprisingly, I like it! |
 |
| I don't think I've shown my "How Does Your Garden Grow" top since I finished the applique. I'm nominating it for my September UFO/OMG quilt. I have lots of quilting ideas from the long arm quilt group that I belong to, and I'm pretty excited to get started on it! |

Your medallion quilt uses a lot of colors and tones I don't use often, too, but I really like it. It has a very happy, free feeling to it. Such nice attention to detail, too.

I'm in love with your top!
ReplyDeleteThe stars look great in the border. A lovely way to extend the quilt.

Love that pop of orange and the addion of the Hexie. I thought Monday was going to be reveal day so still working on mine.
ReplyDeleteBack to the sewing machine!
My favorite part of your medallion quilt is the applique center. Your star round picks up on all the colors used for the applique. And I took note right away that you are using lots of blue (must be your favorite color).
ReplyDeleteLove, love your garden quilt. Especially the pots of sunflowers.
Your medallion quilt is very unique and it is looking good! A mixture of folk art and traditional. A very unique idea on the log cabins and flowers! Excellent design work
