Pam, I was thinking the same thing. Those could be saved for another project or used to make a rectangle instead of a square. I was also wondering what it would look like on a quilt like Elizabrat's, where the colors define the rounds so distinctly, if there were different but similar patterns on each side. That way you could find easier patterns. But I'll bet Elizabrat has thought of all these things and is plowing ahead.

I have sure have learned something on this project. If you don't like what you've done, give it up. I was trying to use up some old colors and have been battling since the beginning to make things work. But, I too am plowing ahead, too committed at this point. I'm using Jaba's 6" lattice on this round and it is easy and going fast.

I'll post pictures of my other one soon as I get the next round done, but here is the second one I have started.

That is beautiful!! I plan on making another one with a panel, but I keep putting it aside.

Emma, lovely start with that panel. I'm sure I have a panel somwhere.....! Someone stop me! I want to start a new medallion before finishing the present one. Being a serial starter is a very serious illness but I know I have fellow sufferers LOL

That panel is soooo pretty! Love the colors and the first round! Anxious to watch it grow.
Hope to sneak in a trip to pick up some fabric after a dental appt today...but the sun is actually out today and I MUST get into the flowerbeds for their spring cleaning!

Yes, spring is here and I know that I will be spending more time outside then quilting. I always slow down in the summer then come back refreshed in the fall. Cycles are not bad things.

Pippa,

Emma & Jill, Yep, the weeds are out, ahead of flowers as usual. Time to head out to the garden.

Mamahen, When I squinted at your new panel, it looked like a starburst of flower petals. Did you dye your fabric yourself?

I've been casually following this thread and am so impressed by what I see!! I hope you will consider offering something like this again in the near future. Really wonderful projects!

I believe Eliasbrat stated the quilt would be started the first of January. Am hoping she means Jan of 2015. Am I correct or has the quilt started on Jan 2014 instead? If it has already started is there a separate thread or different site for the quilt info?
