I finally finished piecing my medallion quilt and posted it in Show & Tell. Since I still have to shop for backing, I haven't started quilting it yet, although I have a good idea of how I want to quilt it. Since it's spread out on my design wall, it looks kind of bowed out on the edges, but that's mostly from trying to smooth it out to take the photo. I can see where it will need to be blocked after it's quilted, more so than most quilts I've made. Fi

Fi, it is wonderful and I love your border colors! I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to use your quilt as an example to show what a difference changing the border can make.

Here is your quilt reading as a mainly red quilt:

And by just changing the borders it now reads as a blue quilt! Fun, huh!

I'm on a roll with the HST quilt, though! I've started quilting in the names--- it's so much fun! And I'm thinking about our sisters and brothers who sent in their HST's as I quilt their names. Kathy

I have gotten side tracked from the HSTs and my BOM in order to finish up a UFO. Oops. I mean a WIP! The fair is coming up, and I would like it completed by then. Dawn, In beautiful Northwest Montana

Here is my Friendship Triangle Exchange "sew far". Opted for Edyta's Medallion Quilt. Now I'm stalled on borders, but I have thoroughly enjoyed the assembly process. It has been so fun to see other quilters' fabric selections. Please excuse the blurry photo!

Charae, I really like your medallion. Those bright colors are a little hard to put together (voice of experience here

). Yours looks really good. I tried many border fabrics with mine, and none of my fabrics wanted to play with the HST's. I can't wait to see yours!

WOW! Kathy you are going to have to take some good close photos for us! That sounds amazing!!

Thanks! I will, when I get it quilted I'll get a nice close shot of some of the names. Good thing they taught Palmer Cursive when I was in third grace, so it will be legible! When I was practicing last night, I was having so much fun!

And, thanks to your pinwheel and pressing tutorials, my quilt lays flat. I twirled almost every intersection except the border squares.
