Click for - The Modern Medallion Workbook.
Medallion quilts are a traditional style that has been wholeheartedly
embraced by the modern quilting movement. Most such quilts consist of a
central focal block surrounded by a series of symmetrical borders,
giving an appearance of a framed picture. This collection, curated by
two well-known quilt bloggers, gives full instructions for piecing 11
different medallion quilts, with styles ranging from
traditional-made-modern (Erica Jackman's Oviedo Medallion) to minimalist
(Christina Lane's Graphical Modern Medallion). The quilt designs are
beautiful, but what's most impressive about this collection is the
variety of techniques included—everything from hand stitching to curved
piecing to improvisational piecing to appliqué makes an appearance. A
coloring sheet is provided for each design, allowing quilters to plan
their color scheme and audition fabrics. VERDICT It's rare to find a
quilting book that is both trendy and widely appealing. There are
projects in this collection that will suit diverse tastes, and the
customizable nature of medallion quilts guarantee quilters of a variety
of skill levels the opportunity to challenge themselves creatively. LJ Reviews 2015 March #2
