Going out of our comfort zone is a sign of growth, Anael. The look of this quilt immediately reminded me of some antique Dutch quilts I have seen online..look at this site and you will see what I mean. Notice the center block in many of the quilts...oftentimes a small block compared to most Medallion quilts. You may be familiar to An Moonen already. She seems to be the premier expert on antique Dutch quilts. And yes she has a FB page...of course in Dutch! The backside of the crib quilt in the second link was the inspiration for a mini quilt I made as a wedding gift for SIL's childhood friend and bride when they were married back in 2005. I used white and blue similar to Delftware for the colors. I don't have a photo of it. I also used red fabric for the backing.
