I spent most of my day yesterday cleaning up the basement. I have 2 friends coming over today and the art quilters on Monday. I had projects and piles of fabric on every table. Late in the afternoon I started looking for fabrics for the next rounds in the medallion quilt.
I'm thinking the purples for the long skinny points and maybe a constant light fabric with them. The corner blocks will be a combination of the purples and red-oranges with the light fabrics. I will make some pieces and then decide if they are right.
A reminder: this is the book the quilt pattern is in. I will choose my own blocks for the 4 corner blocks and possibly one of the 2 choices on my sketch above. I may choose more fabrics and the scrappy last border can include lots of variety.
I like how you are changing the design up a bit and making it your own. The fabric choices are a fun group that will make this quilt interesting and complex.
Are most of the medallion quilts in that book squares? If so, do they offer mix and match ideas to change the shape of the quilts? I have such a preference for rectangular quilts (unless they're destined to be a table topper) ...
I admit I am only a "wanna be" quilter and to be able to visit your blog from time to time keeps me in your loop. (*._,*) Always so full of fabulous colorful fabrics and designs.
Lovely fabrics you have chosen there!

ReplyDeleteI love your selections. I sounds like you have some fun days ahead with your friends. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI love that black fabric with the blue outlined circles. I am not sure it would work with this quilt, but it is a fun fabric.

ReplyDeleteI need to get that book. I want to make a medallion quilt for the guest bed. I guess I'll be visiting Amazon.com shortly!
