Having Fun with Medallion Quilts

5/29/2021

 
Sometimes the biggest challenge in creating a medallion quilt is figuring out what to put in the center of the quilt.  In a medallion quilt the center is definitely the star with the borders playing a supporting roles.

Although any block can become a center medallion, it often needs to be spiced up a bit to make it worthy of the starring role.  

In the Mix and Match Medallion Centers class offered exclusively to Tech Know Quilter members, the focus is exclusively on designing those eye-popping centers. 
​
​Here are a few of the centers that you will be able to draft (and sew) after this class.

Would you like to know a secret about these blocks -- each one of them started as a well-know (and pretty basic) block in the EQ library. 

Can you identify the original block (without watching the video below)?  Let me know in the comments which ones you were able to figure out.

After completing the Mix and Match Medallion Center class (offered exclusively in the Tech Know Quilters membership), you will gain confidence it creating your own one of a kind centers.

Mix and Match Medallion Center Blocks and Quilt Reveal

Picture
After the first few months of Tech know Quilters, I began doing reveal videos showing the blocks, quilts and concepts that are covered in an upcoming class.  This was one of those classes that I never got around to doing a reveal -- until today. 

If you have taken the class, this may inspire you to revisit one of your old lessons.  Or if you haven't taken the class, you will be able to see what you will learn in Mix and Match Medallion Centers.  
This particular class will definitely move you from beginner to intermediate status in your Electric Quilt design.  In fact a couple of the blocks will fall into the advanced category and are not for the faint of heart.  It is so gratifying as an instructor seeing students advance as they work through the exercises.

Make sure to join the Tech Know Quilter wait list if you are interested in learning more when enrollment opens.
