Don't fret over my medallion...I am pretty easy going. This is supposed to be fun! I do think that I am going to have mine ready to send out very shortly, as soon as I decide which to do!

Debbie1, Kelly, & Karen: thanks for the support. I am not a perfectionist and often looking at my errors and think is this really worth "unsewing" or will it be frustrating....I want my quilting hobby to be relaxing. :). However, when you are doing someone else's it makes a difference. I am like Karen (lousy at applique) and will probably do some type of pieced block borders on most of the medallions.

Sounds good to me debe! My old hands just don't do so good at the handpiecing anymore, they cramp and ache. I can't find the extra wolf that I was going to use for the center, sooo I guess I better get busy and figure out what I'm gonna do.

I just happen to like appliqué I don't know why maybe because it's what I have done the most of. I'm not as good at pieced blocks I need to do them more I guess. I did the oriental swap and by the 36 one I was getting better at matching the seams but I still don't get it right especially if my machine decides it wants to go sideways.

i have given up anything by hand (too lazy, i guess). So if I do applique i do it by machine and it turns out better. I don't always get my seams right but usually it is my cutting skills rather than my sewing skills :)
PS I think the machine does what it wants and once in awhile what it does is what I had wanted to do.
