Aww--I'l talk you through making one! It's not hard--and it's small... you can use my EQ6 plan... give it a go.

MamaBear--I have more blocks, but I'm using them in the next top. Although, I checked wall space and I have no room, so I won't be in a hurry to make the next one.

OH my, you don't have wall space? Well, I'd be glad to let you use some of mine. I have plenty to share
:lol: :lol: :lol:

too many cooks spoil the pot, and too much quilting spoils the quilt. It's stunning as it is, leave it as is. It's stunning.
Kind Regards,
MaryAnna

Cute idea!!! I haven't made the second one yet... I think this one will go to sis... if she has wall space. :wink: The more I look at it--the more I like it. :-D

No way is another stitch going in there--well, only to hold on the binding. hee hee

Many times I look at something and decide to fix it. Well, when I get done I messed it up and should have left it alone.

It is nice the way it is.

I vote to leave it. It really is gorgeous and doesn't need any more quilting. It could definitely be overdone.

It's a Kaleidescope pattern--I cut the pieces using a kalido-ruler--or something like that--I'd have to read it to get it right. I designed the color arrangement myself. The pattern is supposed to have alternating lights/darks to give more circle effects, but I wanted to try something different. If you search for "Kayak" you'll see a quilt I made varying the colors the way it's supposed to be done... this was a different idea.

Leave it. I love it this way. Beautiful.

I like it just as is. It feels like it moving. Love the effect.
