The Miniature Medallion Quilt

Whilst making this miniature medallion you will be learning to foundation paper piece a Mariner's Compass, how to foundation paper piece a circle of flying geese, curved piecing, how to make half square triangles, how to make a ribbon border from quarter square triangles, strip piecing and English Paper Piecing.  It's a whole array of quilting techniques in a single miniature quilt!

Week 1

During week one we will make the centre Mariner's Compass, learning to foundation paper piece on a miniature scale.    

Week 2a

In the first part of week two we will go onto the second piece of foundation paper piecing when we put together the four templates that make up the circle of flying geese.  

Week 2b

In the second part of week two we will be making quarter square triangle blocks and half square triangle blocks to make the ribbon border.  

Week 3

In week three we will be making the quarter square triangle units to make the little stars.  We will also be strip piecing to make the equal sign blocks for the third border.  

Week 4a

In the first half of week four, we will be making the little half square triangles to make the fourth border. 

Week 4b

In the second half of week four, we learn English Paper Piecing on a tiny scale, making lots of little grandmother's flower garden blocks for the final border of the quilt.
