Circle of Illusions...aka Circle of Migraines
 

I made this quilt six years ago as a challenge/dare from a Quilt Instructor giving a class in my QS. She said I would never do it, let alone finish it. I called this quilt everything from Circle of Nightmares to Circle of Migraines with a few other names for variety(LOL)
It took six months to make and I had it quilted by a good friend. I added the hummingbirds and morning glories appliques, going from larger ones to smaller ones, trying to get a whirlpool effect. I think I needed to add more to get the effect I wanted, but, oh well! Anyway, not only did I meet her challenge, I made this quilt a whopping 120" square. I am really quite proud of this quilt. Not just because of the labour intense work, but because I finished it!!!

Wow, what a great job!

I am so impressed! That is an excellent job. Cannot imagine a quilt instructor telling you you would not finish it though. She should have been more encouraging. So glad you finished it, just to prove her wrong, if nothing else! It's a beauty!

Unbelievable! So much work - I think you showed her!

That is a very pretty quilt I dont think I would ever be able to make one like that

WOW!!!!!!! That is an impressive quilt. Well done on getting it finished

Love it.

I would love to make a Vortex quilt, you did a great job! I've only been able to find one pattern for it. If I were smarter I could figure it out myself, but I'm just to lazy. Wonderful quilt!

What a fantastic quilt even though looking at it makes me dizzy.

WOW That is an impressive quilt

Maybe her motive behind telling you that was to spur you on to prove her wrong.......looks like it worked. Fabulous quilt!!

Wow! I would have gone blind... LOL

That is stunning. You are certainly justified in feeling proud of your accomplishment. I hope you have entered it in a quilt show.

WOW it's beautiful, but for me I would have to add sea sick to my description. Great Job

it's a beautiful quilt

Wow, you have done a great job.

You have every reason to be proud. That is a beautiful, labor intensive quilt! I would have a celebration, and call in all the family and neighbors, if I finished that quilt! Nice job.

Makes my head spin. What a beautiful job.

Oh my goodness, that is spectacular, Congratulations on finishing it.

Awsome design, fab job on it. Thanks for sharing it.

Oh, my. What an accomplishment.

WOW super cool quilt well done

you did a fantastic job with the quilt!!!! i really would not be able to have that, though, as it is hard on my eyes - vision issues.

Beautiful quilt! I'm amazed that you can still walk straight after looking at it for so long. LOL You did a great job and have much to be proud of.

Amazing! It looks like there is a vortex.

nope, I would NEVER attempt that one. I can see why you call it "Circle of Migraines"

Quite the feat! Amazing work but do you feel like you are sinking into that hole in the middle of your bed? The illusion is amazing!

Wow!! I've never seen a quilt like that- great work!!! :)

Don't you just hate it when someone dares you. She knew what she was doing!!! Awesome work.

OMG. The applique is a great addition touch. But what an accomplishment.

That's some amazingly, dizzy work! Great job and what patience and perseverance you have. Love the applique for the finishing touch. Well done.

It foesn't matter how long that took it is mesmerizing!!!

This is so cool. I love it.

WOW! I like 'circle of migraines' as a name for this quilt. You did a fantastic job.

Now you can call it circle of love. Great job!

oooooH COOOOOOL ,, Well back in the day you would of been accused of doing some drugs. lol
That is wonderful.

Wow not only is it beautiful but it's beautiful! Wonderful job
