After reading Liberated Medallion Quilts and Liberty Love (you know the book with the lovely Marcelle Medallion pattern), I couldn’t resist the challenge of creating my own medallion.
I named it “Lucky” because of the nine four-leaf clover blocks throughout the quilt. Look, there’s one now, surrounded by hour glass blocks.
After the hourglass border there are more clovers and then a simple checkerboard border.
After more clovers we come to the final border. But I couldn’t pick just one. So there’s a herringbone type braid on two sides,
and flying geese on the other two sides.
About the quilting: I knew I wanted to do frilly quilting in each background triangle. When I first set out I wanted to hand quilt the quilt, but that proved too much.

I have just caught onto the Marcelle quilt, and am so please that you 'liberated' yourself – what a truly original quilt!
so cool!! I have a whole bag of selveges that I don't really know what to do with.
Seriously fabulous.
Thank you!

This is so beautiful, I can't stop looking at it. I love the overall design. Pulling the selveges into the project is so clever!
Gosh! Thanks!
gorgeous! I love the scrappiness and the low volume selvages.. You have done a great job! The quilting is fabulous too. I have been thinking of making my own medallion.. but as for now, I am still sticking to making the Marcelle medallion and maybe put some of my own border…
Great selvage quilt. I am making a few small projects and then wonder why I still have so many. Maybe I need to make something bigger with my selvages.
Absolutely beautiful and perfection! Don't know how you do it all. You are a star, Becca.
