I've added the narrow black borders to my liberated medallion but didn't bother to photograph it for you. Instead I've been trying to cope with the scraps leftover from that project.
I only have about 2" x 8" left of one of the prints I used in the medallion. There's not much more of another of the prints I used, both of which I lived in fear of running out of before I'd completed the medallion!
Some of the strips that were cut in sizes I use frequently I may just put in my strip stash. I'm going to try to use up as much as I can first however. So far I've made two postage stamp stars and five liberated 4.5" stars.
But then there's this odd bit of liberated piecing I did for the medallion that didn't make it into the final quilt.
I don't know what I'm going to do with that! I thought I might try to assemble a small quilt, maybe another medallion, out of these scraps. The liberated piecing above might end up as the back of a potholder instead. ;- )
I can't remember if you've already made a back for your medallion and quilted it, but as I was reading your post and looking at the wonderful blocks you've made I could imagine them as part of the back.

Yes, a medallion! With the bird in the cage as the centre? Do you have enough, or will it end up being a piece to hang on the wall. Or maybe one of those giant pillows?
ReplyDeleteI'm somewhat in the same boat for one of tops. I don't know if I have enough of the grey black script to bind it and bought the end of the bolt from my local shop several months befor we started. Happily I found some online and it arrived yesterday so now I can make something else in the future!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your final reveal with the new border.
You're a genius at using scraps and pieces, you'll come up with something that pleases you. =)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll come up with something Sue - those scraps are definitely too good not to be put to use.
