In the last post I started the directions for making a Crib/lap size Medallion Quilt.

Step 1 was creating the 9 1/2 x 9 1/2 inch central focal block for the medallion quilt. This post will include the steps for the concentric strip sets, working in Round, keeping the quilt square. Step 2 and Step 3 can be seen with the central medallion in the picture above.

Step 2: patterned strips

Cut 2 strips 9 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches from your jelly roll strips
Cut 2 strips 12 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches from your jelly roll strips
Sew the 9 1/2 inch strips to the 2 sides of the central block. Press
Sew the 12 1/2 inch strips to the top and bottom of the central blocks. Press
Trim to 12 1/2 inches square

Step 3: Flying geese strips

Cut (12) 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 inch strips from a solid fabric
Cut (24) 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 inch squares from 1 jelly roll strip
Cut 2 corner blocks 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 inch squares from a jelly roll strip which contrasts with the jelly roll strip used for the flying geese
Draw a diagonal line down across each of the (24) 2 1/2 inch squares. Place a square on the right side of the solid rectangle and sew just to the inside (closer the the corner) of the drawn line. Press. Trim seam to 1/4 inch. Repeat on the left side of the rectangle to complete the flying geese block.
Sew 3 flying geese blocks together on the short ends of the rectangle. Sew 2 of these units to the sides of the quilt
Sew 1 2 1/2 inch square corner block to each end of the other 2 flying geese units. Press. Sew to the top and bottom of the quilt
The quilt should now measure 16 1/2 inches square

Step 4: Strips with Fussy Cut Corner Blocks

Cut (4) 16 1/2 x 2 1/2 inch strips from a solid color
Fussy cut (4) 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 corner blocks from the novelty fabric
Sew two solid strips to each side of the quilt.
Sew a corner block to each end of the remaining 2 solid color strips. PressBe careful of the orientation of the design in your fussy cut block if there is a right way up in the pattern.
Sew the strips with the corner blocks to the quilt. Press.
- The quilt should now measure 20 1/2 inches x 20 1/2 inches

Step 5: Squares with center-strip spacer units

Cut (44) 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 inch squares from an assortment of the jelly roll strips
Cut (4) 1 1/4 x 2 1/2 inch spacer blocks from a coordinating solid fabric (good use of scraps)
Sew four units of (5) 2 1/2 square blocks
Sew (1) 1 1/4 x 2 1/2 inch spacer blocks to 1 strip of 5 blocks. Then sew another 5 block strip to the other side of the spacer. Make one more unit this way.
Sew four units of (6) 2 1/2 inch square blocks
Sew (1) 1 1/4 x 2 1/2 inch spacer block to 1 strip of 6 blocks. Then sew another 6 block strip to the other side of the spacer block. Make one more unit this way.
Attach the shorter strips to the sides of the quilt
Attach the longer strips to the top and bottom of the quilt
The quilt should measure 24 1/2 x 24 1/2 inches square

Next week working in the round will be finished and the quilt will be changed into a rectangle.
