Quilt News! Three Coneflowers Medallion with Borders Quilt Top Finish, Spring Flowers Up, Log Cabin Blocks in Housetop Formation

Jonquils...

Wind Flowers...

My finished quilt top, Three Coneflowers with Borders....

 

Hello Quilt Friends! 

Of course spring officially starts on the 20th of March but here locally in Lake Wilderness Arboretum, Jonquils and Windflowers/Anemone are blooming now. Also blooming are Camellia shrubs, Crocus and Hellebore, etc. It is colorful and exciting.

This last week I finished up the top of my Bramble Blooms l QAL project. I call it Three Coneflowers Medallion with Borders. I wanted to keep the outside border dark to contrast with the light border preceding it. I had a difficult time trying to decide how complicated to piece that final border. But finally inspired by Linda at kokaquilts and her housetop logcabin quilts, because they look so fun! I realized that the BBl qal project just had to get finished so I could move onto something else! I tried new techniques (raw edge machine applique) and got some good tips from Audrey at quiltyfolk. Thank you Audrey.

Now did someone say Log Cabin blocks in housetop formation? Here I come!

What projects are you finishing up?

I'll be by to visit.

Congratulations on another great finish. I like the border of mixed batik and prints.
So you are off on another log cabin voyage. What is a housetop formation? I am looking forward to finding out!
