What's on my design wall -

Yesterday I put all the blocks and borders on Lizzy Mae's Medallion! I have chosen to add an outside border to finish. Here is a pic - I have fallen totally in LOVE with this quilt. Of course all my quilts are my favorite colors and fabrics but there is something about this one that really makes me smile every time I look at it.

Borders for Lizzy Mae's Medallion

Today I made the borders for Lizzy Mae's Medallion. I love this quilt so much - I am surprised every time I look at it! Sounds crazy doesnt it!!! I sure wish it was all sewn together. Tomorrow I will size the blocks and begin construction. Thanks for following me and Lizzy Mae!

Happy Quilting!!!

WIP - Lizzy Mae's Medallion

Yesterday I started Lizzy Mae's Medallion blocks.

 The appliqued medallion is done by machine with a blanket stitch. The center has been done for several months. I have chosen to use 3 large prints in gradating values for the alternate blocks. The pattern by Lori Smith used subtle changes in value from lighter on the inside row of blocks to darkest on the outside row. My plan is to give my own twist to make a blended version of the pattern. (originally I purchased shades of teals for this quilt, but used them in my Feathered Star so I am using my stash for this quilt) The pattern finishes 60 sq. I am considering adding an appliqued border. I will post my design wall as it progresses.
