Folk Art Jubilee

I've been showing snippets of my Jubilee quilt but I really wasn't sure if I could make what I wanted to make. I'm still having a few doubts, but I'll show you what I've got so far. Some pieces are appliqued together but nothing is appliqued to the background yet.





Oops, I see I left a row off one side. I was wondering why I had extra.
This will be the center of a medallion quilt. I saw the original of this block in the Folk Art Museum in NYC.  Figuring out the construction and the layering really gave me an appreciation for the artist that made this one block!

    OMG Lori! This is fabulous! Holy cow! I love every little thing about it.....those tiny spikey green and reds surrounding the fans are amazing! And the cheddar pops! And those fat little rose buds are SO awesome! They look like they could burst with a bloom! I'm really loving this piece! Yay!
