Drafting a Pieced Triangle Block (Medals)

Picture
Medals Block Sewn by Kari Schell
When you enter a competition, the winners often receive a medal to honor their achievements.  At the Olympics---Gold, Bronze and Silver medals are awarded to the top competitors in each of the events.

The next block in the Summers Game quilt will be a medal.  This block is not a square or rectangle, but we can still draw it as a foundation friendly pattern using EasyDraw. 
Here is the image for tracing.
Picture
If you choose to make the Summer Games quilt, there are actually four medal blocks to piece.  The rings may be colored in gold, silver and bronze and are connected to a ribbon.  

​They will surround the friendship ring medallion.

Summer Games Center Pieced by Kari Schell
If you are new to foundation piecing, I thought I would share one of the methods I prefer for foundation piecing.  This tutorial shows how to piece the Medals blocks.
For those in the Summer Games challenge, you will want to piece the block with a finished size of 14" x 7" (without seam allowances).

Post any pictures of your blocks or quilts in the Learning EQ Facebook group.  To keep the Facebook group from getting cluttered, share your pictures in the Medals post.

Comments from Those Going Through the Challenge

Carol K.
Carol noted "I am amazed that with each block I learn something new, there is so much I am remembering to do from block to block. The blocks are fun and becoming easier to draw."

Brigitte L.
Brigitte noted "Thanks, Kari, I loved the Spring and the Christmas challenge but this one is really great. I was not much interested in the topic, was hesitating to register. But the historical background you give us plus all the different techniques is an absolute plus. Your rock."
