I absolutely love the primitive vases in this post and the tall flowers a few posts back. And the medallion and the yellow one and all of them, really.

I have to admire people who make medallion quilts because I don't make them because I can never figure out what to make for each round. That's a different type of creativity, I guess. I can't even figure out what to make for a single border on a quilt. Congrats on the finish. <br /><br />The next one you have in the hoop always reminds me of dishes of pudding with cherries on top.

I can see giving away older quilts that are just not 'you' anymore, or quilts made for group projects that you did not plan yourself, but as you get more attuned to making quilts that you LOVE--what happens then? I find that I can now only give away quilts that I specifically make for a friend or loved-one as my other quilts are so special to me.the arkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913283083812288705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-80275126239383138632018-12-07T16:39:59.025-08:002018-12-07T16:39:59.025-08:00It's a wonderful medalion quilt.

Some of my machine quilting friends can easily discard WIPs they no longer love, but us hand quilters feel obliged to finish everything! I'm not sure why that is, but I'm OK with that.

Now I know how to make medallion quilts, the basics of design and construction. I look at my pile of quilts and I love them, most of them. But making the same ones would not delight me anymore! Now they need to be different. That's part of why I took this year off (????) to learn more about shapes and using space and color and telling stories. It's been an interesting year and I don't think my quilts, whether medallion-format or not, will ever be the same. That's good! Anyway, you continue to put into words a lot of how I think. I feel like we are kindred spirits that way. Thanks as always.
