Mirabella, those blocks and quilts are beautiful.
I have been lurking for nearly a year. With QNS's encouragement, I took the plunge. Now have the bound book, CD, and FF. So I am really late for this round or a jump ahead for the next one. After doing two, I can see why one could flag out. My, they are time-consuming. I am not the fastest quilter around, but normally not this slow, but maybe it will get faster. I need to work on the contrast/value thing. I think they may look better in person. So tada, here is Alabama and Alaska, my versions:
Kalama's setting is inspired, in my opinion. I have decided to use mostly batiks and only batik for background. I have decided the circles represent planets orbiting the stars?? You all have done beautiful work and this is inspirational to me and others. Good job, Carriem!
