Sizzling medallion - Scraptastic Tuesday May Link up

I received this delectable mountain centre block from Carina 

 One among many that she sent me to use for Siblings Together.   This one just said " make me the centre of attention". So I decided to make it the centre of a sizzling medallion in hot colours - orange, pink and maybe some yellow.  

The scrap orange Stars came from the lovely Julie who always seems to conjure up fabulous quilts from scraps - she is truly inspiring.  

I made some simple nine patches for the first border, from fabric donated by Emma - mainly used up in the first Kaleidoscope quilt I made for Siblings Together.  It is 2wenty Thr33.

Once those blocks were patched together I added another scrappy thin border and then some triangles - to repeat the pointy-ness of the delectable mountain centre block and those star points.  I think that border works well.  I used a coloured square as my cornerstone.

My final border was Kona White with cornerstones - two nine patches and 2 rail fence blocks - one of each was donated by Carina , the other made by me to match in as closely as my stash permitted.

Jude sent me an ikea duvet cover that Sarah had sent her (I think) and it had all the right colours and a bold pattern as well!  It seemed a perfect match for the backing fabric. 

I quilted in the ditch a lot, crosshatched the nine patches and meandered in the outer border.  The binding was a scrappy one that repeated some of the 2wenty Thr33 fabric from Emma.  

And here it is ... 

I will be linking this project to the Finish-A-Long 2016 at the end of quarter 2
