Our May 18 meeting featured quilts with "Not Your Usual
Setting." Our president, Betty
Allen, showed three of her medallion quilts (pictured below) and described how she started with
a large center block she liked and then added to this center until she got the
size quilt she wanted. She explained how she uses graph paper to enlarge the design to the desired size. She
also discussed how she sometimes adds to the length to allow for the quilt to
function as a bedspread and cover the pillow area.

| Martha Ginn's Tree |
Doris Aultman showed quilts that formed alternate blocks
when they were combined with the major block in a quilt. The outer border is
appliqued to give an added interest.

Martha Ginn
arranged a set of various-sized tree blocks from a friendship exchange to
create a large tree on a background of log cabin squares which made up the sky
and ground.

| Pat Faulkender's Wonky Nine-Patch | |
Pat Faulkender showed quilts that were made up of
innovative piecing arranged freeform as she added to the quilt. She worked with
ideas from the book, Thinking Outside the Block, by Sandy
Cummings, and came up with her own interesting designs.
