The third border for my medallion quilt is finally attached. Weeks of waiting for the fabric and the time to finish this border (and the rest of the quilt) have finally paid off. This is my favorite row so far. I just love the way the stars came together and it was fun not worrying about being precise when making them because they were supposed to be wonky!
I am now off to work on the final section of the quilt top.

Wow! This is beautiful! I never thought I would want to make a medallion quilt, but this is making me think about it. I like wonkiness, too. It makes things so much easier!
ReplyDeleteThis looks stunning! I love the wonky stars.
ReplyDeleteLove the color scheme of your medallion! It is so bright and cheerful.
ReplyDeleteI have never made a medallion quilt before and this does inspire me to try. Nice work. Love the bright cheery colors and the wonkiness. I am surprised by the use of gray but I really like it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great medallion quilt! I've got plans for one of my own but haven't had a chance to start it yet. Now I'm thinking about a scrappy grey background!
ReplyDeleteLove it! That last border of positive/negative wonky stars is such a perfect addition, Elise! And those colour look great against that scrappy neutral background. Looks like you are having fun!
ReplyDeleteLove it! The wonky ness and greys make the colour and design pop!
ReplyDeleteI really like this quilt! First thing that struck me was the colors--the grays work so well with the brights; second the zig zag border--one of my favorites; third the outer star border--I love the alternating positive/negative, and I like that the spacer border is pieced grays; fourth the center--the strips cut into those narrow points looks good.
ReplyDeleteLooking great! I love their wonkiness, it somehow makes them sparkle more, especially combined with the many shades of grey/low volume which you have used. I find it gives the eye plenty to take it in a pleasant way.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely design. It looks like you had fun the whole time you were sewing!
ReplyDeleteIt just gets better and better!!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is so stunning. It's been exciting to see it come together. I'm so glad you are sharing it. It is inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Love the playful echo of the star center and the alternating positive/negative stars - looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThis.
ReplyDeleteLove.

Wow! Cannot imagine how this quilt could get any better, cannot wait to see the finish! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt! The colors are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is stunning. I absolutely love the bright colours. The star border is amazing. I can't wait to see what you do next.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty quilt. The bright colors just pop against that gray background!
