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

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,

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.
