It sounds liek yu will enjoy the process of quilting it now. And your HST medallion is a stunner too - that looks like a lot of HST to control for each border! Having a dedicated sewing space is great isn't it, in spite of the size of yours, it sounds like you've got it functioning well for you.Raewynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11123089629481933099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-75586247715455016912018-02-24T10:43:45.260-08:002018-02-24T10:43:45.260-08:00I'm full of admiration for your piecing in the...I'm full of admiration for your piecing in the medallion and very glad you are still going.

Now where did I put it...?<br /><br />That Medallion HSt seems to have a 3D look to it - like looking down into that center piece. <br /><br />Wonderful stuff! and I'm not exactly sure how you iron a big quilt in that little space. I'd be ironing in wrinkles!

I love the sprinkling of different fabrics in your trees. And love the medallion. Keeping one border dark and alternating the dark and pink HSTs makes a beautiful rhythm.<br />I sewed in my closet for years then on the dining room table. Like you, my room is small but it's (usually) all mine. Although I walk to the big ironing board in the kitchen to press. How do you do it?Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922656955543465650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-6238216103281009592018-02-22T14:51:56.664-08:002018-02-22T14:51:56.664-08:00Your scrappy tree of life is wonderful!

T...The background variations in your ToL are great. They give it the sparkle with the other darker colors. A bit of intentional or even unintentional wonkiness is wonderful IMO. This is going to be a beauty. But your HST Medallion is also wonderful. Medallions are probably my favorite style to work on because it's all out there in front of you all the time. No guessing if one block goes with another. More like painting than sewing. Busy lady, you are pushing me to take a day to just sew my heaping pile of trimmed triangles into HST and see what happens. Might be the ticket with all this rain here. For a tiny studio, you have a lot of output!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02834496271292973632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-4913705732647619972018-02-21T19:39:18.118-08:002018-02-21T19:39:18.118-08:00I love these tree of life blocks so much!

I like every one I see. Maybe I should collect them (ha!) like Bill Volkening collects New York Beauties. The problem is I'd rather make them than collect them so I guess that will never happen.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14423024947233260195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-74531714290235499832018-02-21T14:08:01.393-08:002018-02-21T14:08:01.393-08:00Your HST Medallion is looking awesome!Your HST Medallion is looking awesome!mangozzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05161843244215941676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-50154860061905425862018-02-21T11:52:21.644-08:002018-02-21T11:52:21.644-08:00Your post today is all about what you can do with ...Your post today is all about what you can do with hst's.

I don't recall seeing your tree of life top before, but I do love it! How many HST's do you guesstimate you'll make/use to complete all 10 rounds in that quilt? I have nearly 500 from all the stitch-and-flip cutoffs on the top I just completed, and I'm guessing they wouldn't go all that far!Quilting Babciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16225825007525655805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-60956081418570288372018-02-20T16:02:22.294-08:002018-02-20T16:02:22.294-08:00Aaaaahhhh, you're a glutton for punishment but...Aaaaahhhh, you're a glutton for punishment but they are beauties.
