Today I wanted to play with Gene's HST Medallion Quilt -
And try to decide what color(s) I'm going to use -
In addition to the pretty jelly roll and turquoise batik - LOL - ;))
Before I cut anything -
I played in EQ for a little bit -
I have some TURQUOISE yardage and some other "pieces" that might work -
And -
I would rather make more blocks than add borders -
But that's probably just me - LOL -
Here's one coloring with TURQUOISE in the setting triangles and center HST -
And a "PINK" for the other half of the center HST and corner squares -
The beige/green will be scrappy - from a lovely jelly roll from Timeless Treasures - Tonga Treats - Citrus - which is no longer available - sorry -
The "yellow" and the center block are still "undecided" -
This one would be about 38" x 38" - without borders -
Then I thought that I might want to make it larger -
So I increased the number of rows horizontally and vertically -
But that's a little TOO big - LOL -
This one would be about 64" x 89" - without borders -
So I scaled it back a little -
And think this might work -
This one would be about 51" x 64" - without borders -
Depending on the layout - there may or may not be ONE "Center" block -
This one has FOUR - LOL -
This will give me an idea of how many larger HST I will need - from yardage -
The smaller HST will be "scrappy" - from jelly roll strips -
And they can all be cut using my LEFT-EZE™ Rule -
So tomorrow - I may just start cutting -
And see where this goes - LOL - ;))
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

Love the second design. Looking forward to seeing what you make.
Oooh, I like it with the four center blocks. That really adds a nice pop.
Love the last one with the four center blocks. I personally don't like the burgundy as it doesn't relate to the rest of the quilt, but I love the idea. I am impressed with your EQ skills and how you can change things up. I am much slower with graph paper.
Well, you are sure better at playing with these technical toys than I am. I can't even get a sentence lined up, let alone a selection of blocke.
