Day 2 of the Medallion Block

Not sure how many hours I spent in the quilting room but I did complete all sixteen pieces of Pattern A.  All in all, it went quite well. The only mishap was when I decided instead of pulling out the stables I used to hold the pattern piece to the freezer paper I would trim off the excess freezer paper and staples with my scissors.  Well, I didn't realize I had picked up two pieces instead of one and I trimmed thru the second one right thru the part that I needed.  Don't you hate when that happens.  But, instead of making the two new freezer paper patterns I decided to remove the freezer paper from two that were completed and reuse them.  It's a good thing that freezer paper can be used more than once. LOL

There is a lot of work going into this block, but I think it's going to be worth the effort.  Nothing about it seems very hard, it's just staying organized and carefully stitching and pressing and trimming. So here are the first sixteen pieces layed out in a circle.  The rest of the day will be spent stitching thru the pattern on Piece B and Piece C to transfer the stitching lines to the freezer paper.  I only need 8 of each of these.
