I have realised that working in a medallion is a a slightly slower way of working than my usual approach, because you can't make a nice stack of bits and then fiddle about with them until they look pleasing. Instead, it's much more one step at a time. I'm not complaining, just making the observation.
In this instance, I got all the way to the top of the right-hand side with literally no idea what I thought was going to work next across the top. I stick bits of fabrics up there while I'm sewing and try to get a feel for which ones might look good, but that's an inexact approach, I can tell you!
That is a great name for this piece! With a few more rounds I think you might be able to sneak in a few more of those lovely birds.
ReplyDeleteGreat name, and it's really neat to see you approaching piecing from a new angle and seeing how it changes the way you work. :)
ReplyDeleteThat flash of blue - 'sky' does compliment circling the block, especially in these lockdown exercise days LOL
ReplyDeleteCan almost hear the birdsong signalling longer days : )
Enjoying the journey as we Circle the Block along with you and watch how the story unfolds. I'm honored you liked the name suggestion! :)
ReplyDeleteReally coming together so well, Kaja!! I love how each border adds something new for the eye to follow...Nice work --stay safe
ReplyDeleteHugs, Julierose
This really is an exciting quilt and always enjoy watching your quilts develop - pleased you decided top keep the triangles! Great official name.
ReplyDeleteIt improves with each round, Kaja. I like the mix of fabrics, values, and shapes you're using.
ReplyDeleteThese small stripes of colors make it special Kaja. Your are absolutely right to feel good with it.
ReplyDeleteI always love the "inexact" approach. Your quilt is looking fabulous thus far; 'tis such a delight to the eyes.
