So, I ran out of solid color scraps for my Color Wheel quilt, so that's temporarily put away until my scrap supply is replenished. I figured the best way to do that would be to start working on another quilt, right? I decided to start the 2016 Craftsy Block of the Month quilt called "Amish Medallion", which starts out with a big paper pieced center flower thing. I've decided paper-pieced things are good side projects to have going when you need a break from your real project.
This center part is some tricky piecing, let me tell you! It's made up of multiple different sections, and there was a bit of seam ripping happening since paper piecing is confusing, and I'm easily confused. It got better once I decided to write what colors all the different sections were supposed to be.
But it's cool, isn't it? I possibly got so interested in doing this "side project" that my main project (the Smithereens quilt) got neglected.
That is going to one pretty quilt. Amish quilts are always pretty brightly colored or maybe it looks that way because they generally are against a black background. Wonder why they used black?? Aunt Karen
