"LOLLIPOP FLOWERS"
I began working on this, my first Medallion quilt,
in 2023 with Audrey for her SAL Medallion
type quilt process....Her instructions
for each section were so clear and
really spurred our online group all on...
Mine went through so many iterations and
growing pains: "I hate it!!",
"I can't do Medallions with all those borders!",
"My stash colors are ALL WRONG!"
"Everyone else's looks so much better
than mine does!!"....
etc, etc, etc...
B U T.....
Now I am so happy that I stuck with it
through thick and thin...
My good friend, Lizzy
was my most ardent cheerleader and
kept telling me it was worth pursuing...
Thanks to Lizzy and all you other followers
who cheered me onward with
your encouraging comments...
✌👌👍👏
💜💜💜💜
Here is the reverse that uses
the very last bits of my
favorite older floral fabrics from my
stash...
Lots of hand quilting for texture
really shows up here....;)))
Are any of you still working on long-lost projects
out there--well, keep at them, sometimes
the result can surprise you with just
how much you like it;))))
I need to add hanging straps as this
will be a wall piece--
Hugs, Julierose,

Prepping "Littles" for quilting mostly these days...
ReplyDeleteThat was well worth persevering with, wasnt it. Very pretty and will soon be hanging on your wall for you to admire every day.
ReplyDeleteLots of my quilt projects go through growing pains where I have to put them in time out, so I definitely understand what you went through with this one, Julierose! But your result is so pretty - I love it. Pretty colors, interesting blocks, and the quilting adds so much texture!
ReplyDeleteIt is a delight, I'm glad we nagged and pushed you. I learned a lot from that sewalong, I think many of us did. Your result is amazing. But now I love your Pineapple even more--Bowl of Crocus has been nudged to share in first place. And--your hand quilting adds so much dimension and texture, truly outstanding.
