More specifically - "cuban Motion". I take ballroom / latin dance lessons and I can't get a handle on the cuban (hip) motion I'm supposed to do with the latin dances. My body used to move like that naturally when I was 20 - at 50 my body is not cooperating. My brain knows what it should look like and thats what I saw in bobbinchicks quilt. So I started my own - it took several tries to get the look/feel I was trying to achieve - pulsing motion. Each of the 9 blocks are supposed to be a latin dancer (salsa maybe) with their "cuban motion" turned all the way on all dancing together on a dancefloor. I pieced all of my practice blocks into the backing. I am really really pleased with how it turned out. I am giving it to my dance instructor as a house warming / appreciation gift. I think he will like it. He is very artistic himself so I think he'll appreciate it.



:-D :-D :-D Ya know what???? When I was moving my sewing room around so I could quilt my king sized Starburst quilt I found that twisted log cabin that I made. I do want to finish it and I haven't given mine a name as yet. Soooo one day I'll have to get some batting and a backing and finsh it and repost it. That quilt you made is one beautiful one and bright and I bet it would win a blue ribbon. Mine was made from stuff I had in my stash. Have a great day, Huggies, Fay
