I must remember to click on everyone’s pictures in case I miss any other gems.<br />I love the colours and your construction.<br />I wanted to make something more functional too, but managed to stop myself in time!<br />Barbara xFlashinScissorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06408946289711452871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236944057573310628.post-83947255593090272912018-08-03T14:04:03.970+01:002018-08-03T14:04:03.970+01:00I found myself really thinking about the commentar...I found myself really thinking about the commentary you shared here. I had to go look to see where you lived. I love this final piece and the thought and skill you have in making it. I LOVE that the quilting is actually words you accumulated in the creative process.

I guess it had to make its way into a quilt at some stage.

If you look, you can find the spiral, but you would only notice it subconsciously. Your composition reminded me of that idea.
