It is done. The top of the Coxcomb Medallion quilt. I started this in February 2015 as a block of the month. The flying geese were done over a four month stretch, there are 224 of them. All the small 3 inch blocks were done a bunch at a time. The 6 inch ones were done two or three a month and the Swag, pumpkin seed blocks, and center appliqué were made up over a three month period. Yes, they are hand appliquéd <smile>. There are twelve floater/borders and four rounds of pieced blocks. Its about 94 inches square. I am planning on a dark blue binding. I enjoyed making this quilt because of the variety of blocks and the very good instructions by Sue Garman. Green and pink are not my first choice for colors, but I have to stretch my likes/preferences and try different combinations, otherwise all my quilts would be blue. Now to finish up Allietare, all my blocks are made and setting triangles. I need to find a good border fabric.
Linking up with Judy at Patchwork Times for Design Wall Monday. Thanks for reading.
I am so impressed. The thing I like least about quilting is putting the borders on, and this is all borders! I love how it all looks together. How will you quilt it?
I’m with you on the borders. Usually I just cut a strip to the right width and sew it on, cut it to size and go on to the next side. Since there were so many borders, I had to pin and measure, otherwise it would have turned out to be a rhombus instead of a square lol.
Your top is gorgeous!! I love it!
Thanks 🙂
Your quilt is gorgeous! Just stunning! The colors are beautiful and the design is as well. Wow!
Sue Garman is the designer, if you’re not familiar with her quilts, take a look at her web site. I enjoyed making the variety of blocks she chose.
This quilt is amazing!
Thanks for the compliment. On to the “To be quilted pile” it goes.
