Has anyone made a spiral mandala quilt like RaNae Merrill?
I haven't got her book http://www.ranaemerrillquilts.com/ but I have watched a video on the quilt show. So I drew up my own spiral mandala and was wondering if anyone had any tips for me. I am begining to wonder if I have bitten off more than I can chew

I haven't seen her video or her book but where I used to live a local woman used to teach how to paint your own personal mandala on silk - she claimed that you didn't need any experience that you could pick out patterns and use a copy machine then trace them onto the silk - so I don't know if you can do the same with quilting. I wish I could think of more but I will see if I can find her name and more information. Good luck.

I printed off my design and taped them all together for my master copy and they didn't line up properly. I must not have measures an exact 45 degree angle. GRRRRRR. Back to the drawing board I think I need a bigger protractor.

Woody, once you get your 45degree angle perfected, tape your master copy together, take a picture of it, and check out Spoonflower on the web. You might can use a picture of only one segment and let Spoonflower do the work for you. Check out the Quilt Show segment with Jane Dunnewold.
