Verdant Spiral
 

Each month our quilt guild has a 1/4 yard lottery. You bring 1/4 yard based on a theme of the month in a plastic bag. All the bags are put in a pot and one is drawn. The person whose bag is drawn wins the all the fabric. I won one a few months ago where the theme was green. I added the purple and pink pieces based on a couple of the green fabrics and this is the quilt I made. The spiral sections are 1/2 square triangles. I'm more of a traditional quilt person so this is really a departure for me. I like the optical illusion and the quilt as a whole is growing on me. I didn't use a pattern but rather sketched it out on graph paper.

Wow I love it ! ! ! ! !

I love, love, love it. The two sides of my brain are fighting with each other right now. Do it!! No, too much work! Do it! . . . etc. I'm getting better at half square triangles, but they do require precision. Yours are fabulous.

Very cool I'll bet your guild was impressed.

Fantastic quilt. The colors really pop on the black background!

very nicely done :thumbup:

really good and without a pattern. wow. beautifully done!

very neat!!!!

I really like it. It's a great quilt.

I also like that your quilt group has a theme for the drawing fabric. We do the drawing, but have no theme. It's fun to win but it's impossible to make a quilt out of the winnings.

I love it plus you designed it!!!!!!

Just perfect looking. Congratulations.

WOW...marvelous

good job! This one has been on my list for awhile. Your version is a knockout!
