Hump day!







 
Yes, it is definitely Hump day! I finished the quilting on the thirty-six inch center medallion on my Red and  Green!  I find quilting the center of a quilt a bit of a challenge, maybe it is my short arms. There are twelve blocks that surround this center block and each one will take some time to do.  But progress is progress and I love celebrating small achievements that lead to bigger ones!

    1. Thanks Julierose! I feel the same way about pieced quilts. It's funny how it works that way.

  2. Wow ! that looks beautiful - you have done a wonderful job of that centre. Cross hatching always looks good but the outlining on the ? seed pods adds extra interest.

    1. I have always loved traditional quilts, so why not just do what you like. I agree crosshatching always is the way to go with applique. Still need to decide whether to trapunto the feathers around the pineapples. Still a lot of quilting to do, so I have some time to contemplate!

  4. Thanks Ginney! I almost have two of the smaller blocks done. So I am thinking I should finish this right around Thanksgiving!
