I never get tired of this quilt. It is hanging in my dining room and sometimes I just stand there and stare at it. With the combination of the vibrant Oakshott cottons, the dots and stripes, and the phenomenal quilting by Krista Withers, it just seems to glow.
So when I received a request from Adrianne to use Marcelle's picture in her post about medallion quilts in the weekly column she writes for the My Stars blog, I was thrilled.
Here is what Adrianne had to say:
Marcelle Goes to the Circus by Cindy Wiens radiates life. Notice Cindy’s
use of bold saturated colors mixed with neutral grays and creams. The
red pulls your eye right to the center. The scrappy confetti of color in
the middle area dances all around. The dark, muted tones along the
outside ring is a brilliant way to contain the composition. It visually
stops at the edge and then leads you right back to the center again.
There is so much wonderful movement in this quilt.
Such nice words. Marcelle and I may both be blushing just a little bit.
You can read the rest of her post here, along with some great hints for designing your own medallion quilt. Thanks so much , Adrianne!

It deserves front page of Love Patchwork & Quilting too Cindy, and this recognition is awesome.
All the attention is well-deserved!

All of her words are so true!!! Marvelous job Cindy!!!!
A worthy example of perfection I reckon! xxx
How wonderful. Good for you and Marcelle too.
couldn't agree more!
Marcelle, and you (especially!) deserve the attention! This is a great quilt, Cindy - the best of what you do - choosing colors. Because of you, I now own a fq bundle of Oakshott cotton, and don't have a clue what to do with it! :-) Aren't you happy now. Yes, you're an enabler. Congrats on the special recognition!
I don't know how I missed seeing this quilt before now, but I'm sure I was suffering. This is GORGEOUS! And the all caps is most definitely deserved. There's not a thing I don't love about this quilt. Congratulations on the press!!
How exciting! This is such a gorgeous quilt with all that yummy color!
Gorgeous quilt! I can see why you stop to admire it! I would too! And the words of the press are so right on, great quilt executed perfectly!
Such a gorgeous quilt deserves lots of attention!!
I never tire of looking at this quilt. I am so glad others appreciate it and love it as much as you do Cindy!
