April Friday Night w/Friends

I actually got an early start on Friday Night with Friends this month. After lunch, I started cutting out a new quilt, the Deco Elegance medallion quilt I just finished designing.

I worked until 11PM and got most of it cut out. Fussy cutting the print fabric was so wasteful I actually couldn't get enough of the little print squares to finish the quilt as I originally designed it so I had to do a quick redesign.

This morning I spent a couple hours making the center block. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out as there were a lot of mitered seams in it. I am definitely getting better at them.
