WIP Wednesday - Medallion Top Finished


I finally finished the last border on my medallion quilt top.  I wanted something a little more simple for the final border but I wanted it to still work with the rest of the quilt.  I decided to alternating rectangles with something different in the corners.


At first I was thinking more stars (since my plan was to call this the Milkyway Medallion), but since I had just done a row of stars I thought it might look goofy.  Instead I decided on some little log cabins, 2 with grey on the outside, 2 with color on the outside depending where they are located.



As I shared with you yesterday I already have the backing and binding picked out.  I just need to move my kitchen table to I can sandwich this baby and begin the finishing process!

Hope you are having a wonderful week.

Elise

    The green binding should help bring it all together nicely. You have so much happening in this quilt.

    Perfect choice for the final border. I do love a piano key border. And those squares in the corners are just what this design needed to round it out. Fabulous medallion top, Elise!
