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...

The next unit to sew together is pieces G, H and background B. I admit, I'm not really sure I did a real good sewing these pieces together. Background B points rarely lined up well with the registration points on the units but I did the best I could. Here is my background B pinned to the unit. I figured I just marked the RP dots a little off on the piece. This piece is very important to get right. I apparently didn't get one of them right and when I went to sew the whole thing together it didn't fit right. Like, not even close...   Units G and H registration points lined up fairly closely. The last picture is G, H and background B all sewn together. I'll put together all the separate pieces into the main panel of the quilt, which each one is 1/8th of the quilt.
