Milky Way Medallion #2 Center |
I seem to have sewing ADD lately. I have all these ideas floating in my brain and soon as one becomes somewhat refined useable idea I have the urge to drop everything else I am working on and start working on something new. Apparently I do have some sense though because instead of doing that that I decided it is important to get a few things on my WIP list done first, starting with another version of my Medallion Quilt.
I needed to make the quilt again because the first time around I wasn’t planning on making it into a pattern, so I didn’t record my process, measurements or anything really. This time around I am writing down my process, checking my numbers, and testing how the pattern will look with a completely different set of fabrics.
The fabrics I am using this time are yellows greens and teals and the background is a couple shades of grey and black shot cottons. I hope to have more done soon!

LOL….I always have sewing ADD. There is not a single day where I don't have at least two (usually 3 or 4) tops being pieced at the same time. I prepare a step on all of them then sew then prepare the next step. I love your medallion. Can't wait to see more.
Elise Lea says
Wow sounds like you have a method down for your sewing ADD lol. I like having multiple projects in different stages because that way when i get frustrated on a section of one I can go work on a completely different section of another.

Now this medallion is fabulous. Paper pieced? I think that even I would try to complete this! And that is saying something as I usual do not do paper piecing. I am so impressed!!!

Beautiful colors–they really pop! Sewing ADD … so THAT'S what you call it. I "suffer" from the same condition, but it's a fun affliction!
Elise Lea says
Thank you so much this quilt was fun the first time around and i think i am liking it even better the second! Glad to see i am not the only one 🙂 It seems a lot of us are suffering from that affliction lately lol.

What a beautiful block!

Sewing ADD – check! I think you'll find we all are going to relate to that! 🙂 The color combination is great; I especially like the subtle two town background. Is this a paper piecing method or just trimmed or… so, yeah, I am totally interested in the pattern!
Heather @ Bobbins and Bullets says
That's a lovely start. I really like the varied black/grey background. I think combining tones like that makes the quilt much more interesting than a single color. I can't wait to see where it goes next!
Karen @ Pieces of Contentment says
It's looking great! Your colour combinations are wonderful. Pattern making must take a lot of precise details to complete accurately.
Sabrina says
This is going to be gorgeous!
Leanne Parsons says
A beautiful start! I love the bright colours against the dark background.
Georgi says
