Most of the quilts I make are folk art and applique or basic piecing, but I love the look of Medallion quilts. This is the year that I plan on learning more about machine quilting and doing more complex quilts.

I have never made a medallion quilt. It is always on my list of things to do but I am somewhat intimidated by the process.

Nancy said...

I made one once, and used it in a round robin. It's my very favorite - unfortunately, it went through Hurricane Katrina and is very heavily damaged. I keep it for nostalgia... I LOVE medallion quilts!

Lisa England said...

I have made some medallion quilts and some I would call "almost medallion" where I have one large featured block that might be applique or intricate piecing and then I surround it with less complicated blocks.

giddy99 said...

I've purchased a quilt kit (my first ever) for a medallion, but can't start on it until I finish my current WIPs (those are the rules). :)

Debi said...

Yes I have made several medallion quilts, I love them.

LeAnne said...

I have made one medallion quilt. I started with the center and then kept adding borders. It was a lot of fun to create it as I went along.

I made one once, unintentionally, lol!! I made a wall hanging for brother & SIL but when I saw where they wanted to hang it, the little wallhanging became the center of a much larger quilt. Thanks for a chance to win some of Dawn's fabrics!! She does such great work!!

I did recently make a medallion quilt that is in the small side measuring 17" square. It was a fun, fun project!

Denise said...

I never made one, jet!

Linda said...

Yes. A Baltimore style wall hanging with a center square surrounded by 12 smaller ones and then borders. And it only took me five years to complete!

My Blogger logo is the centre of the medallion quilt that I made. Some of the blocks that surround the medallion are part of an international block swap so I have much love in my quilt. Adore the fabrics and plan to be part of the BOW fun

I've never made a medallion quilt--but I have an interesting book on English medallion quilts. I really love the design Dawn has with the eagle in the center. I live on a bird reserve and we have 5 eagles. This fabric line is beautiful. Rust and blue...what a stunning combinaton. Now..I want to return to home page and study the pattern more!
