I started this quilt because of two lucky wins!
A bundle of Carnaby Street by Pat Bravo from Fabricworm.
and this Quilting & Patchwork magazine from Lily's Quilts.
I think my favourite part was the flying geese in which I used all text fabrics.
No, wait.......
maybe it's the cross blocks using my inspiration Carnaby Street fabric....
hmmm........well, I also loved using my Oakshott collection for the triangle border....
Okay, I can't pick a favourite border, but I do know what gave me the biggest fit!!!
...a big, ugly oops!
Fixed, but still haunts my dreams!
Now, for the quilting-
Yippee!
What? You can't see around the legs?
okay, okay...
Yes, there is still a paw in there!
As you can see, I tried a lot of different FMQ designs!
It was good practice for me, as I tend to be cowardly when it comes to quilting.
I used a beautiful Aurifil thread for all the piecing and quilting.
My go to piecing thread is a 50wt #2021
For the quilting, I used a pale green 50 wt #2800.
I just realized that I don't have a good photo of the back!
This is the only one.....
Basically, some random piecing!
Okay, that's it for my August finish.
*sigh*
Love my Marcelle Medallion!
One final quality control photo.....
Thanks for stopping by!
Forgot to give a big thanks to my brother, Doug, who used his skills as a photographer, to take a few of the outdoor shots!

I never did find a copy of that magazine!!
This is amazing in sooo many ways.
Thanks for linking up
Fabulous Patti this is a spectacular quilt.
Seeing your quilt finish makes me even more exited about the Sew Lux border of the month. I don't typically like square quilt (I have no idea why!) but every time I see one of these I want to give it a try :).
absolutely beautiful! :) It's a very happy quilt.
