Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Quilting Big Projects on a Small Machine »

Instructions

Used the medallion method to add panels and borders.

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Children

Style: Whimsical


Materials

Cotton fabric, batting and thread.

What was your inspiration?

Wanted to make a snuggle quilt out of a printed pillow cover panel. Stained glass windows and tapestries are in the backgrounds in the series of movies about certain young wizards.

What are you most proud of?

I ran out of the solid gray fabric for the back so I had to use a different fabric for the borders on the backside. Using the medallion method means the borders look like I planned it that way.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

The medallion method is a good way of using the larger pieces of batting left over from other quilting projects, as long as you use the same type of batting.

Also, as the instructor suggests, make sure you trim each section before adding the next panel or border.
