I just made one of these yesterday. don't have the back on yet but I just loved doing it. it looked so confusing so I had my mentor help with the first one. I can't wait to make another. They are so pretty. Your's goes from dark to light. Mine has staggered colors all over it. they look like you spent forever but once you make the stratas (8 strips sewn together) and you cut them, it is so easy. I love the colors in yours.
