I wanted to keep the finished quilt 'under wraps' as it was to be entered in a Quilt Show.
The centre Medallion was a design by Tamsin Harvey from her book Constantinople Quilts - which was exactly what my DS#1 requested for his Wedding Quilt
- BUT it was only a Wall hanging!
I needed the quilt to be Queen size - so after talking to a lot of very knowledgeable people,
I set the Medallion on point and proceeded to design my own corner elements for the setting triangles
Today it was awarded the Convenors Award
at the Victorian Quilt Showcase 2017
I didn't know Ribbons came in Pink -
But they do!
As well as a Certificate and Rosette
I received a sponsorship Prize of a Moda Layer Cake and 3 Charm packs in Civil War Fabrics from PK Fabrics
and a 12 month subscription to Australian Patchwork and quilting Magazine.
Looks like my next project may be taken care of!

Congratulations, it is a beautiful quilt. The corners are the perfect complement to the centre.
