amazing!!
i agree it turned out "just fine" w/o batiks. in the early works of de jong & carol bryant (? ..can't remember her name, but she made quilts of brightly colored geometric 'progression' quilts) ..their quilts were made like your masterpiece here ...with brightly colored cotton fabric ..not batik.
beautiful quilt, i'm so glad you persevered and even gladder that you shared the result with us.
