Medallion Quilts are an annual guild activity. A medallion quilt is one that several people build by adding borders of a specific dimension to a center sewn by one person. Extra fabric is added to the medallion bag as each person contributes a border. Centers are shown at the September Business Meeting. At that time, members may sign up to participate. Completed medallions are displayed the following September at the Installation Potluck. One person's name is drawn from all those who participated, and that lucky member wins the quilt top.

Here are the more specific rules for participation:

1. Centers: All members wishing to start a medallion center should contact the Medallion Coordinator no later than the August Business Meeting. The centers must be submitted no later than the September Business Meeting. Each center must be at least 12" unless it is a miniature medallion.* At least 1/2 yard of fabric used in the center must be included with the block at the time it is passed to the next participant.
2. Sign Ups: Medallion centers will be on display and available for sign-up at the Installation Meeting in September. Four people may sign up to work on each medallion, for a total of five per quilt top.
3. Deadline: Each person who signs up will receive a list of all the people who will be participating on that medallion and the date by which they should receive the medallion. Each person has approximately two months to complete his/her round. If you do not receive the medallion as scheduled, please contact the person on the list before you. If you have difficulties receiving your medallion, please contact the Medallion Coordinator.
4. Guidelines:
   1. The first member has made the center and is passing it on to the second member on the list. At least 1/2 yard of the fabric used in the center will be included in the bag.
   2. The second member will add a border (4"-10")*. It must be either pieced, or appliqued, or both. It must contain some of the fabric passed on by the first member. The second member will add to the bag an additional 1/2 yard total of fabric (minimum of 1/4 yard of any one fabric) that was used in her/his round. The bag continues to the next person on the list, until all the rounds are completed. The completed medallion should then be turned in to the Medallion Coordinator no later than the September Business Meeting.
   3. When you have completed your round, please check the appropriate box on the bag. Should you be unable to complete your round, please cross your name off the list and pass the bag on to the next person.
   4. At the September Installation Meeting, a drawing for the quilt tops and remaining fabric will be held among the members who worked on each top. All of the guidelines must be followed to be eligible for the drawing.
