Reproduction by Susanne Richter-Antonijevic, 2010
Susi emails that she has finished the unquilted coverlet that reproduces a British medallion quilt from the mid-19th century. Great job and it only took her a few weeks.
Above Susi's reproduction; below the original.
Original British medallion, about 1830-1850
Above & below are the original, photographed a little overexposed when it was sold at Christie's in London

The use of those hexagon rosettes appliqued to the background is very British although we also see some examples in American quilts.
A few years ago some friends did a challenge that required them to make a reproduction medallion using hexagons somewhere. Here is Judy Severson's solution, a chain of rosettes in the border.
It looks like Cindy Vermillion Hamilton pieced her border but did some appliqued rosettes in the outer blocks for her entry.
I made some tiny hexagons out of my Hartfield collection of 1810 reproduction prints.
I like Cindy's idea of making florals with stems---which reminded me of a 19th-century block quilt my sister owns.
