The Center Block

I spent a few days looking at different blocks for the center medallion of my quilt.  And then I spent a few days picking fabrics.  This is what I came up with.


I'm going to make a Christmas quilt and it is to celebrate my Husband's retirement last October and our 23rd Anniversary earlier this month.

I also want to thank everyone for their warm welcome.

Hugs, Cathy
