    So very interesting. I'm trying to figure out how you put it together. Love the swirls and the diagonal stitching and also the centers where the stitching intersects...

    Hey Linda, I drew the spirals on a piece of muslin, went through my bits and pieces box of tiny fabric remains and sorted them by color, then used just a dot of glue to hold the fabric pieces in place. Once they were all down, I free motion zigzagged around every piece of fabric, mounted it on the maroon backing, sandwiched and quilted it.

    I really like this, too. Thanks for sharing your technique. I may "steal" the idea for my small quilt guild as a next year's workshop on a smaller scale suitable for a day long class. I can "see" sew many possibilities for design ideas, from a large graphic flower set with neutral background, a sunrise (set) with purples (twilight) foreground let alone the random graphic nature of your piece. Thanks for sharing.

    I like the interplay of colors, particularly the color of the binding that you used, and the quilting design works really well with the overall look of the quilt. Very nice.

    So bold an image.
