I loved it as it was during a transition time between moves and I didn't have ANY of my fabric at hand, and I just picked up a few fat quarters locally and went from there. It is one of my favorite quilts! I enjoyed it so much I made up my own last year. It is also the idea behind my Medallion this year. But I keep it pretty simple. I have found it fun to have one year-long project going, and something to look forward to at the end of the year :)SarahZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17848104380274247158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580965803850912868.post-71529479157847843492016-01-20T20:54:43.311-06:002016-01-20T20:54:43.311-06:00Your blocks are all beautiful!

Currently we are six members with two months to complete blocks. So as to not procrastinate, I finish them as soon as possibile to not even allow myself the chance to do so. This will be a fun one to see grow... looking foward to it!

But I like your finished blocks even more than the sheet. They look more alive.
