This picture shows it hanging. Although it is square, I had a positioning problem when photographing – a cramped angle -- so it looks all wonky. It finished measuring 27” square. Mr. QBG loves this one because of the colors and movement. Quilted in a simple hanging diamond pattern, I used dark monofilament thread in the needle and a 50 weight cotton thread in the bobbin to match the backing.
Now I think my red and white quilt design needs tackling.
I have a 6" finished test block made so there are only 19 more blocks to go. However, I need to go to Country Stitches quilt shop to see if I can find some more red fabric that closely harmonizes with the red I want to use from my stash and to finish using up a gift certificate from this shop. Won’t that be fun?
The medallion quilt turned out perfect! I adore the colors and yes, the movement in the quilt is nice too.
