There's nothing like an exhibition deadline to make me hurry up and finish a quilt.
This one all started when I saw an offcut of the beautiful Stone Flower centre in the remnant bin at my local quilt shop. I knew I had to take it home and and turn it into something pretty.
There's always a good selection of medallion quilts in Kaffe Fassett's books so I perused my little library and came across the Blue Square Dance quilt in Quilts in the Cotswolds.
I didn't fancy making the final border on the Blue Square Dance quilt, so I turned the page and used the border from the Flowery Jar pattern instead.
The final touch was a great Kaffe Fassett print for the binding that incorporated all of the colours used in the quilt - Chevron Stripe in Blue.
I've called it Faith because:
a. I love George Michael's music
b. You've got to have faith to build an impactful quilt.

This quilt turned out great and it all started with a small piece from the remnant bin. Another lovely to display at the quilt show!
It's a beautiful finish. I can see why you're so pleased with the quilting, too. And you made your deadline?
Gorgeous
gorgeous...i just used my last scrap of the blue/white stripe on a wall quilt...it must be an old fabric as i haven't seen it anywhere...good thing i might buy more...lol
A stunning quilt Wendy. I love the addition of that exciting green and the border you decided to go with rather than the original in the book.
