This quilt has been in my head for a long time, but I didn't have a clue what fabric I wanted to use. Or what block I wanted to use at the centre for that matter. And then I had a light bulb moment over the weekend - I pulled a giant stack of fabric out and began playing. This is the
It's destined to be a medallion style quilt (yep, jumping on that bandwagon too). No real idea where it's heading really, it's a making it up as I go along project. So it may end up awesome, or really really ugly. I'm really hoping it'll be a not-ugly quilt though, as I'm using a tonne of very treasured favorite fabric. The centre block is done, and I love it. I used Leila's Schoenrock Cross pattern again (love this block so much!), and bordered it to bring it up to 12.5".
I have other priorities to work on this week, but once they're done I'll be back to this one. And I really can't wait :o)

This is such a beautiful and intriguing block!
Lovely block - and such a great idea to use it for a Medallion quilt too!
You are on to a winner with the fabrics you have there! It's going to look brilliant! I love your centre block!
ooooh! I look forward to seeing where this goes!
Love the fabric! And the centre block.
I am intrigued by this block, great job by the way! Schoenrock is a family name and after seeing your block I tried to do a little "sleuthing" on it...yup, I did not get far, however I did find that the secondary pattern created by setting several together is awesome. Thanks so much for sharing and for waving the proverbial "bright shiny quilt" in front of me!!! B-)
Och, what's a few bandwagons between friends ;o)
Love it so much I am keen to try it out Jess!
This is lovely! I really like the mix of fabrics. I might have to also give this a try. :)
