I love it and think you should go for it! It would be a shame to have spent all that time and then not show it off!

When I first saw it the thing that came to mind was:
red sky at night sailor's delight, red sky in morning sailor take warning'

But then we've been having lots and lots of storms this week here in Southern IL

Love the way the snake came out. I remember you wanted the bottom to be sort of collapsing. Hell-ish? I forget your exact wording.

The quilting should definitely emphasize the snake. I saw it right away, as did yonnikka. I don't know if the others did.

I would definitely enter it. I find that appropriate titles help a lot in the smaller LQS contests. So try to convey the concept in the title. Yes, sometimes even quilters need the "Oh, I get it now" push.

On the "got that?" in your op - OMG - I got it.
So each one of those kaleidoscope blocks is only 2.5" square????

Insane!!!!!

Did you paper piece them? WOW!

The quilt will definitely have an additional WOW factor because of that.

2.5" square.

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

actually they are 2 3/8

:lol: and your memory is outstanding and yes I PP them.
Hellish is not bad but I am kind of embarresed to tell the theme. DH did not have a clue...........

Thats the batting
:oops: I will have to go for the green for the binding as nothing else is left and I dont get to add another fabric

I love it!! Definitely enter. When I first saw it, I thought of the snake in the garden of evil and the struggle we have in making choices. So I would call it "Choices in the Garden". Beautiful job!

I would enter it. All of those tiny pieces are a big plus. I don't have a clue what the theme is.

I think what you have done is very creative and I wish you the very best of luck

I think the theme was the downfall of the garden of eden.

The snake jumps out at me.

I thought the white was just the batting showing since you hadn't quilted it yet.

you can do stitch in the ditch and then do the 1/4 quarter away from that as an additional ouline on the inside of the snake several time to make it have texture

Looks pretty cool

I cant tell you how much it means to me what you saw!!
The theme is Paradise and all I could think of was the snake....I think I will name it "lost paradise".
My only problem will be to write down what I was thinking and how I got the inspiration. Like I said all I could think of was a snake and the caleidoskop is the only pattern one can form a snake out with
