Around the World is on my short list of things to do. I hope you strip pieced this one.
I have been collecting Amish color combos for my AtW quilt. I will, of course, refer to your photos as I decide what color combos look nice.

Nice execution.

I am new to quilting, and would love to do the bargello effects, did you stitch this using the same method as bargello, into longstrips, joining into a circle, then separating at different points to re-assemble? does that make any sense, its on my list to do?? beautiful work and your hand quilting is a credit to you, love the colours especially!! :thumbup: :D :thumbup: :D

Wow, this is very very pretty! I have also heard it called sunshine and shadow. I am making a sunshine and shadow one right now too...the reason it is called that, is because on the quilt, wherever there are shadows in your life, if forms a beautiful pattern, if there was just sunlight, there would be no pattern. Beautiful quilt!
