Elisabrat's Medallion Style Quilt Along!

Yes, you must post options for the round. I like options. Your ideas could lead to others own ideas but without your options I might not get very far. You need to come up with ideas for future rounds, even if some don't use them, some of us need them. Thanks for doing this.

Elisabrat: I can not post picture the same way I once could. Was very frustrated at that, but figured out that if I go to "Go Advanced" at the bottom of this quick reply section, before I enter any comment in this section, I can then go down to "manage attachments" select picture I want to input, upload (another small window will come up for this part) wait till finished uploading, then write in the comment section & post. If you haven't tried that, give it a try. Gotta be way faster & easier then what you are doing.
I know that some are working on another round already, but stick to your schedule rounds, do not deviate. I know I might need to add a break between my last round and the next one so that they do not clash, but I'm waiting to see what you come up with.

Hi all finally got my material and did my first round which is checkerboard around using black and cat's eye's materials. Check it out in my albums. Site won't let me post here , but will let me post in albums. Name of album is Elisabrat's Medallion Style Quilt Along Progress. This is where I will post pictures when my rounds are finished. Took picture before trimming outer edges. Let me know what you think Always wanted a cat quilt and found a panel that I really like so here is my chance to make one. You can't tell I'm a cat lover lol

ok curiosity is making me ask it appears many are going ahead and doing different blocks or doing several rounds of borders all ready. As we go farther along it takes longer to do a border trust me. question is are you wanting us to post rounds for you to optionally use in the future or is it everyone just mans their own ship so to speak? Just don't want to offer something if its not wanted/needed. Not sure about Jans feelings just came to me this morning so I hope she knows I speak for myself. We both missed each other by phone yesterday so no time to catch up on this. I am almost ready to plan the next round. I like doing a bit, putting it down and working on something else a bit, then coming back to this. I know this might drive someone else nuts but variety always works wonders for me.

Have a couple of rounds picked out, just need to sew a practice block to make sure size is right and then try to write the directions out for you. This time the rounds will be 6 1/2" unfinished. Need to sew a couple of blocks today for a swap and lots of D4P blocks. Love seeing your updates on the borders. pbadder looks like you'll have lots of color options for your kitty quilt, the eyes are so cute.

PB, love your fabric. Do you know what it is? I too want to make a cat quilt someday. I can't decide whether to make one that features the fabric, like your center, or one that has blocks with cats. Maybe two.
Brat and jaba, I think the fun of this is having your options and seeing how everyone's comes out different. I have learned a lot in just the first round. The way you have it planned is just right. Thanks for hosting and for the work it takes. Looking forward to Feb 1.
I do have a problem to deal with. After the first round, mine is 21". How did I get so far off? Should it be 18.5 at this point or 24.5? I can do another border to make it bigger.

Brat: I love this quilt along just the way Jabba and you set it up. I realize that leading quilters can be like herding cats, but I really do appreciate the time you both spend putting this together. One of the really nice things about joining a group like this is I try things I would never try on my own. I am finishing a quilt using the medallion for the back. Love the way its going.
