Wow. Very cool.

You can really see all the matching up that needs to be done. Did the pattern you were using not call for continuing the vortex into the center? Was is based on Andi's DVD?

If you're not making an exact duplicate of THE quilt, then you can put a brown center with some fabulous applique - some sort of motif that you might like (birds, flowers, whatever).

And so it's not bright red. I've never really understood the need to make EXACT duplicates of existing quilts. (Although, that said, look at the winner of Paducah this year)

For me - I'm really, really fond of spirals. Sort of continues the vortex/wormhole effect (and speaks to the sci-fi geek in me ;-) ). And that motif could be continued on the border/background. And done. Wall hanging. Unless you wanted it as the center of a bed quilt.

Beautiful but I'm afraid my eyes wouldn't hold up to the challenge.

You can order the DVD through jukeboxquilts.com for 19.95.

I remember seeing a pattern like this in an old quilt magazine. It has about six pages of directions! They don't make quilt magazines like they use to.

That makes my eys hurt

What a wonderful quilt! I'm not sure I'm good enough to make something like this!

Good luck making this quilt. It will be beautiful, but looks like a lot of work!

wasn't this in Quilter's Newsletter this month as an antique quilt?

I was in Gilbert, AZ in mid-May and went to their quilt show. Just inside the door was this quilt only in navy/white. It was the first time I saw this pattern and it was stunning! Don't think I'll make one tho. The Spicy Spiral was enough of a challenge for me!

Yes, this one or the last one - the last page before the cover had a big picture of this quilt.

There was a discussion about it on TreadleOn a few months ago and I ordered Andi's DVD, but I still need to order the 9º ruler for cutting the segments.
