Has anyone tried this pattern?

So I just have to figure out the value/color combo to get that bowl effect.
Because I LOVE the idea of hanging it in the guest bathroom. ;-)

All I got was something that looked like Russian writing. O.K., I clicked on the second link now, and I got it. I think I'd rather do something else as a baby quilt; but, I must admit, it certainly is interesting.

I found one example of this quilt. The article is (again) not English - but I read just enough German (left over from college days) to understand that she found this pattern in the magazine Lena. She calls it the "Rolling Ball". Notice she added an outer border that really adds to the quilt. Hers is also paper pieced.

I have a feeling this is a Gloria Hansen design.
It's the sort of thing she does - manipulating images in Corel or other graphic programs.
I've got a picture in my head of a yellow/greenish combo- one of her earlier quilts.
I don't have time to look now but will dig a bit when I get back.

:thumbup: How come we all see it convex instead of concave?
Would be astounding if some "shading" could be done with darker fabrics around the "rim".
