Let me introduce to you my Metro Medallion Quilt that I am entering
Welcome, I hope you stay and have a little look around.
If you have been here before then I apologise for my repost of this quilt, but
its my favorite so far this year and I have to enter it.
its my favorite so far this year and I have to enter it.
Metro Medallion is made with the Quick Curve Ruler by Jenny Pedigo
from "Sew Kind of Wonderful" as soon as I saw this pattern
I knew I had to make it, check out Jenny's Blog and see all the
wonderful quilts she has made with this ruler.
Metro Medallion is made mostly from Red and Black Homespun, with
a red and black print. It's a single bed, sized quilt and I custom quilted it
with my APQS long arm machine (hand guided).
I was originally going to do an edge to edge panto
on the quilt, but it was calling for custom, so custom it got.
I was so happy with the way it turned out, I love the texture
the quilting created
and the back was just as good.........don't you just love it when that happens!!
I made this quilt for my very special friend Tayler, who I had known for 28 years or more, she
has been fighting MSA (Mutiple System Atrophy) for the last 5 years. Sadly, she recently
passed, earlier than we expected, she fought a hard and courageous battle and I miss her deeply, but I am comforted to know that
my quilt is with her in heaven.
Thanks to Amy for hosting the Festival and have fun
looking at all the beautiful quilts.
