Here are a few detailed pix of my avatar quilt that somebody has asked for. It's one of my most favorites so I love sharing it.
This is a Stack and Whack method. I have no idea where the orig. pattern came from. I've had the pattern for yrs. You can see how every medallion done this way comes out different. That's the fun of it is to see the surprise you get. The border is a paper pieced idea I incorporated into a border. I always try to get a lot of the orig. fabric into a quilt in order to see where the medallions came from. This is one quilt that I made just for ME. I love it.
