    Oh I like this. I think a medallion be would be really fun and kind of intense. You couldn't even plan ahead too much because who knows what the person before you would do? Kind of like pressure sewing

  2. Woah! That's a lotta pieces. Looks fab x

  4. Christina says:

    AWESOME! WOW! Looks great! You have set the bar high for the next border.

  5. Kitty says:

    This looks amazing!!! The triangle and diamond "painter style" works SO well in the medallion setting! How big are those lil triangles!?

  6. This is truly amazing! I really love your addition to John's quilt.

    wow – this is really impressive – as we say here in Boston – wicked pissa!

  8. MareMare says:

    Gorgeous! I love how the blue is coming in from the edges!

  9. It looks amazing, Molli, and I think a huge part of the creative process is pushing through the doubt and (as my husband and I call it) the "ugly duckling phase" of a project. I'm glad you trusted and kept going, and it is going to be a delight to watch these medallions progress.

    oh yeah! Your result is obviously inspired – nicely done!

    This is gorgeous! A mini would be perfect! I am perplexed at how the Bloc-Loc ruler works with diamonds, I love my HST rulers…they are magic! I've had moments where a project looks like a hot mess. It can be hard to keep going, but most of the time its worth it…you just never know!

  12. Lynda says:

    really love what you completed and the colors are perfect – not sure I would have been able to plow through that many fiddly pieces

  13. Nicole says:

    That's really smashing Molli! I love the look of it – make sure you show pics of the actual finished quilt. I know what you mean about the "I hate it stage" Be glad you persevered on this one.

    And have a great day!

  15. Ruth says:

    I love watching people work on medallions and this is a great way to frame and pull colours from the feathers. I like this a lot!

  16. I think it's beautiful as it is – just keep it and hang it on your wall (for a little while anyway) 🙂

    Liberty prints, paper piecing, croikey… what's next?!

  18. Susie says:

    This is amazing! Would look so good on my wall!

    I am so obsessed with this. It's funny because when I first saw your progress shot I didn't think I would love it because I tend not to love such contrasting colors together, but then I saw this and my mind was blown! So just let me blatantly copy everything you do already!!
