I finished piecing together the individual pieces and started putting a few together to make bigger pieces.
Now, to sew those together to make 1/8th of the center medallion. Just remember to make sure your registration points all line up or at least get pretty close. This will keep all your pieces lined up as you put the top together and believe me, you will need it.
This quilt top is probably the hardest one I've had to sew. Although, I didn't enjoy sewing the Y seams (3 sections meeting together) in the Amazon Star quilt either. This one is just awkward.
Here's a picture of all 8 of my quilt pieces. Think large crescent shape about 3' long. I laid them out on my bed to see how it would look. Below is some more pictures of them spread out but not sewn together.
After the medallion center part is put together, I'll add the applique pieces then the 8 appliqued baskets to the outside. I've also ordered some metallic thread. I've never worked with metallic thread before but I'm curious to see how they would look. On each quilt I've done I always try to throw in some element I've never done before and the metallic thread on this one is it. I'll see how it goes.
