A medallion quilt builds outward from a center, and Flea Market puts a bright pieced star at its heart, then rings it with scrappy baskets, flowers, and churn dash blocks. The result looks like a collected, gathered-over-time sampler, which suits its inspiration: Lori Holt's love of thrifting at flea markets and antique shops. The palette is soft and vintage, full of the kind of prints that look like they have a history. It is one showcase quilt with a story, plus a few coordinating projects to carry the look further.

What the Book Includes

This listing is for the printed pattern book, not a kit or a finished quilt. Fabric, batting, backing, and notions are not included.

Inside are complete instructions for the Flea Market medallion quilt, along with three table runners and a pillow. The 69 full-color pages cover cutting and assembly with photos and diagrams throughout. The book is soft cover with a spiral binding so it lies flat at the machine.

The Projects

The book centers on one showcase quilt and a small set of coordinating projects:

• The Flea Market medallion quilt: a central pieced star framed by scrappy basket, flower, and churn dash blocks
• Three table runners
• A coordinating pillow

Individual project sizes are listed inside the book.

What You'll Need

The quilt and projects are built with conventional patchwork: rotary-cut pieces joined with straight seams, in familiar basket, churn dash, and flower blocks. The scrappy look is a natural fit for fat quarters, precuts, and a stash of coordinating prints. The cover sample uses Lori's Flea Market fabric collection, though any prints in a similar vintage palette will work. A rotary cutter, mat, and ruler are the core tools, and full fabric amounts are inside the book.

Perfect For

• Quilters who want one showcase medallion quilt to feature, not a block library
• Anyone drawn to a scrappy, vintage, gathered-over-time look
• Fat quarter and precut users with a stash of coordinating prints
• Fans of Lori Holt's Flea Market fabric and her thrifting-inspired style

Why You'll Love This Book

A medallion quilt is a satisfying way to make one quilt feel like an heirloom. Everything points toward the center, so the finished piece reads as a single composed design rather than a grid of repeats. Flea Market gets there with familiar, friendly blocks, baskets, flowers, and churn dashes, which keeps the piecing approachable even though the result looks intricate. The thrifting inspiration gives it a warm, gathered character, like a quilt assembled from treasures found over many weekends.

The scrappy approach is forgiving and stash-friendly. A wide mix of coordinating prints only makes the quilt look richer, so it is a good way to use a fat quarter bundle or a collection of vintage-feeling prints. The three table runners and the pillow extend the same look into smaller, faster makes, which is handy for gifts or for testing a palette before committing to the full quilt.

At 69 pages, full color throughout, this is a focused book built around one showcase quilt rather than a large block library. The spiral binding lets it lie flat next to the machine while you work through the medallion, round by round.
