After studying several designs for the quilt layout it was time to try on background fabric- the blocks have coping strips on them in this picture. Can you see the red star outline from the coping strips? This is still a work in progress.
All 12 Finished blocks- before I used red coping strips around each block to make the 12" blocks exactly equal size-(those are pink sticky notes on the blocks for their numbered sequence.)
I decided the quilt needed a medallion in the center- to create the focus of the quilt and build the blocks around. I found this pattern in an older quilt magazine and I had been wanting to make it for a wall hanging. I gathered up the scraps from the 12 blocks and along with a few extra fat quarters I began to sew- The corners are fussy cut from another piece of fabric.

Wow mom!! Very cool mom can't wait to see and hear about your other projects!
Beautiful!!!!!
Ooohhh. Pretty. Emmy likey.
Love it. I think if I didn't have a full time and part time job, I would take up quilting. This would fit in perfectly with my love of fabrics. Oh but wait, that would mean I would have to goi buy MORE fabric and then where would I put it all? MY closet is already packed with fabric for the doll clothes. Anyway, great work Penny. I just wish I had your patience!
Love Terrie
