Twelve Quilts of Christmas 2021 – #2

 

 

 

Well you know of course I was going to include one with small pieces!  

 

This quilt is a fabulous example of how the quilting ignores the piecing.  The centre circle medallion of quilting falls off the central piecing on the right, but barely falls off on the left.  The second border in from the outside straddles three rounds of the medallion piecing

 

The quilting in the central medallion is made up of four leaves with centre fill and then surrounded by two rounds of design: a round of buds and leaves and a round of snails.  The plain reverse side of the quilt lets us have a really good look at all the elements in this quilting design.

 

I love the little snails with squiggly tails.  Do you see them?
