The local quilt store was sponsoring a challenge called whirled peas. Now if you say that fast three times it will turn into something like "world peace". The challenge was to put that into fabric. I tried googling world peace to get ideas, but then I saw a pattern by moda, "freebird" that looked like it would work. I tried to make the center reflect the world. I used green for peas and for ecology. By luck I found the perfectly coordinating background fabric to mount the circle onto. What fun.

That's so pretty. How lucky for the matching background fabric.

How beautiful and imaginative.
For some reason it reminds me of unrestrained oceans.
