Well, all I can say is WOW OH WOW. That is really cool. Can't believe you thought it was "not difficult"....it looks hard...all those curves. You did a fantastic job. Thanks for the info on pattern/book. Will have to "store" that info....have always wanted to do a curved quilt. I must say, it's beautiful...one done in batiks, like you suggested, would be a stunner:) Thanks for sharing.

Glad you found the book. Follow the instructions to the letter and you won't have any trouble with the Swirls.

Can't wait to see your quilt!

Thanks for sharing the information. On second thought - I just might buy the nice thick ones!

i found the book at the library. It is in the book "All Quilt Blocks are Not Square." By: Debra Wagner. They call it candy swirl. I think I will try it. Not sure what color I am going to try.
