I got Ashley's (from Wasn't Quilt in a Day) quilt starter first, with some very specific instructions/wants:
 |
| Make a medallion quilt using these colors, she said. Measured about 17"x17". |
Luckily I got it right as I was finishing my daughter's birthday dress, so I had an immediate opening on my sewing table. The first thing I did was set the block on point:
Then I added a simple border to help frame it all:
 |
| Now it measures about 28" square. |
And that is where I probably should have stopped. But the rules for how much to add to each person's quilt are pretty unrestrive and I really wanted to add another border. So I added a small plus border:
 |
| Now it measures 39" square. |
 |
| I did a lot of fussy cutting for the neutrals. |
And now I am DONE. Just need to make a signature block and I am putting it in the mail before I add another border. This quilt is just so pretty and fun to work on! It makes me want to start my own medallion quilt right.now. I have one planned for later this year at least!
Can't wait to see what she does with it!
I am very excited to see what your quilt starter turns into! Love the borders you chose. I don't think you went over the top. They are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! The borders you added are great.

ReplyDeleteYipes! The next folks who get Ashley's quilt are going to have their work cut out for them, since it's grown quite a bit since the starter block. Your additions look fantastic. It will be fun to see what your group adds to your three blocks.
