This week I have only been working on my Marcelle Medallion quilt. I adore how it is looking, and I am only just now working on the triangle border. I can’t wait to get more of the borders put together and on this thing.
I paper pieced the center medallion with this amazing tutorial from Penny Poppleton. It came together so easily, and I didn’t have to attempt Y seams! Hooray for avoiding something difficult.
I was conflicted on which fabric to choose for the 1st border, but I love the way the Pearl Bracelets look. I think I might have a thing for Lizzy House fabrics 🙂
Last night before I passed out from exhaustion, I did a test strip of border 2 with some extra triangles I cut out. I was pretty shocked when it actually looked like it is supposed to. I hoping to get the triangle borders pieced and sewn on the medallion today. Fingers crossed that William takes a long nap 🙂
Eeeeeek! You made this? I've been afraid of that centre for months! Good for you
Your block is so pretty. Great fabric choices!!
Thank you so much for linking up with Needle and Thread Thursday!

Love the medallion and fabrics you chose. And no Y seams is a plus!!!!
Gorgeous, your fabric choices look great together!
Oh how I love a good nap for the kids! Love the colors and fabric you're using!
Thanks so much!!
I LOVE it so far! Love the fabric 🙂
Lovely! Thanks for the hint on the paper piecing tutorial. That will make it SOOO much easier. My book finally came in the mail last weekend 😀
The Marcelle Medallion is such a lovely pattern and yours looks great in Constellations! Lizzy House's fabric is so winsome, isn't it?
Love the colors!
