Stitchin' Sisters Round Robin Update

My Stitchin' Sisters have been busy stitchin' !!

Here is Debbieann's border on Annette's beautiful medallion.

Debbieann set this striking medallion on point with seemingly seamless ease.

Here is the progression of this RR ,,,

Stitchin' Sisters Round Robin Update

My border on Annette's Medallion is done!

I am really happy with how this looks and hope Annette will be, too.

In the end it came together easily.

This was not my original border idea.

At one point I had two sides on and then I removed them and only kept the corners.

The nine patch corners were made with fabric that Annette included with her medallion and I knew right away when I saw this block that I wanted to extend them outward.

I had tried to add fabrics from my stash but they were not a good addition so I went fabric shopping and bought three half yards, the lighter red, the purple herringbone and the red and purple print.  Much better!

Here are the fabrics that I added

Here is a closeup of how these fabrics work with the original fabrics that Annette chose.

Sometimes it takes me awhile to figure out just what the medallion wants, 

but when I do it all falls together. 

I really enjoy the challenges that these pretty medallions bring.

I shall enjoy this one brightening my wall for the day.

Time to mail tomorrow!

Looking forward to working on Gina's RR next month!

1st Stitchin' Sisters Round Robin Block Arrived!

My 1st Round Robin block has arrived!

 

This beautiful block was made by my friend Annette.

 

Annette does not have a blog.  I keep hinting that she really should have a blog so everyone could see her beautiful work.
Alas,  Annette says she does not have time.

Must be because she is sew busy making beautiful quilts.

 

 

I love the fabrics and colors in this block!

 

Annette makes many beautiful quilts in beautiful fabrics and beautiful patterns.
I wish many more quilters could see Annette's beautiful work.
 

Annette should have a blog.

Maybe we can encourage her to find the time ... ;)

 

Annette found the pattern for this block

I have this beautiful block hanging in my sewing room waiting for it to tell me what I should add for a border. 

 

Last night while I was sewing HSTs for the Quiltville Mystery,I got an idea and sketched a draft for a possible borderand pinned it up next to the block so I could study it some more while I sew.

 

When I am sure I have the right border, I will see what I have for fabrics.

Annette included some extra pieces of her fabrics that she had left after making her block. I may or may not use some of them. Annette has asked us to limit the colors in this quilt to the ones in the center medallion fabrics but we can choose our own fabrics.

 

Looking forward to sewing a border for this beautiful block soon!
