A few of our favourites...

Scroll & Fan - Medallion III:

$19.00

Graceful scrolls bursting into fans.

Difficulty: New Beginner

Reverse appliqué pattern – Hand & Machine directions

(36" x 36")

Reminiscent of the lines of scrolls and fans, this pattern is part of our medallion pattern series. These reverse appliqué projects are inspired by the scrollwork, gratings and architecture of the late 1800s, from a time when people embraced the idea of beautiful functionality. These quilts make beautiful wall-hangings to add a touch of elegance to your home.

Scroll & Fan also works stunningly as the center piece medallion of a bed-size quilt, as in our Fit for a Queen Quilt III(89” x 89”). When making the quilt, follow the directions in the Quilt Expansion III pattern-Scroll & Fan finishes at 40.5" x 40.5". Add the Quilt Expansion pack if you already have the medallion, or get the Quilt to get the medallion plus all the lovely borders and sashing instructions.

We recently updated our sample using the Hoffman Big Dream “Aurora” Flower panel with spectacular results. Clearly the panels aren’t just for long arming. Stopover in our shop to pick up the panel to go with this pattern by itself or as the center of your Fit for a Queen Quilt III.
