Friendship round robin quilt

Terry's Friendship Medallion round robin quilt

Here's my contribution to a friend's round robin medallion quilt. Twenty-four 8-pointed stars. Many are fussy cut to echo the fussy cuts in the centre star. Others are random to gel with the scrappy stripes. I just love how the stripes (added by a Leanne) make the star radiate.

The centre block is called Flying Swallows and was made by the quilt's originator and owner Terry.

I think I might have to add a 1" border around the whole thing because after the amount of effort that went into it I'd cry if my points were accidentally cut off!

What fun I've been having!

This is the latest project that's been keeping me up until all hours. The diamonds in these are quite tiny, the sides on each diamond are 1 1/2" and the whole block measures 5" across. I've noticed that each star takes about 20-30 minutes to assemble, then about the same to add the calico squares and triangles. It's kept me company through Tangle series 2, American Idol top 20 and lots of Dog Whisperer (we have 2 pups and I'm always on the look out for handy tips!).

This is for a friendship round-robin quilt I've had in my possession for almost a year (yikes!) I look forward to posting again when I've added my contribution to the existing centrepiece.
