Gwennie Inspired Medallion QAL ~ Center Reveal!
All of those participating in the GIMQAL will
be sharing their center blocks today on the link up with Lori over at Humble Quilts.
Lori set the theme for the center block and the theme she chose was
baskets.You could interpret this any way you wanted; it should just be
inspired by Gwen Marston’s work.
Even though I have about 3 other applique projects on the go, I couldn't resist this challenge.
I started looking through my very old Ladies Patchwork magazines and found numerous articles written by Gwen Marston.
This is what I have come up with...I think I'll add a bird somewhere. I also need to trim down, but will wait until I decide on the next border.

The next theme is…
CHILDHOOD.
This is
meant to be a very open theme to be interpreted however you like - it is your
quilt!
Your
childhood; your folks' childhoods; the children in your life now or back when;
children of the world;
For
example....
- Anything that reminds you, in any way, of any aspect of childhood!

Your block looks very "Gwennie"! Funny, I have a pile of old Ladies Patchwork magazines too. I saved them just for Gwen's articles! (I've even moved them to my new house, and magazines are heavy!) Glad you joined in on the QAL!
Love your dropping petals. I had planned to have at least one on my tulip basket. I may have to go and it or maybe more.
Have fun with the next go around.
Great improv basket and flowers especially with the falling petals. It's been interesting to see everyone's interpretation. The next round seems challenging. Have fun.
I like the falling leaves in your basket design.
I am so glad you joined in on the fun. I love your block. It has been so much fun seeing all the different blocks. I can't wait to see what everyone does for the 2nd round. Hugs
What a sweet block. I waited to trim mine as well.
I love you how added the gold/tan/orange leaves falling from the plant. What a great addition to a beautiful block.

HI Sue, you have made a beautiful start, I love the falling petals. I'll be interested to see what you come up with next :-) I'm inspired to join in this (albeit a little late) after seeing this and others online ...although I can see already that the first border will have me stumped!
Pretty block - The falling petals lend a sort of sweet melancholy tone.
Very pretty block. The falling leaves are a nice addition.
