another round

The medallion quilt I am making with a friend is growing! I made the center block and my project partner added the sweet, traditional border. Wouldn’t this make a great pillow, as is? I am feeling a little hesitant because my instincts are telling me that the next round of blocks should be of a more complicated nature and I am afraid I might muck up the simplicity of the quilt as it stands now. At first I was considering making a bunch of sawtooth stars, but I think a border of friendship stars might do the trick. Rows of equilateral triangles could be fun too, but at the moment I feel like making some fun, fussy cut stars–see photo below. I’ll post again after I’ve made some progress.

I also thought I mention that Kelly has a baby quilt in her etsy shop right now that is simple and stunning and uses this Heather Ross Mendocino fabric line in a wonderful way. If you are in the market for a unique baby gift, this would be perfect. {She’s not charging enough for it, so snatch it up quickly if you think you’d like to have it!}
