I began this quilt several years ago, using batik fabrics. Each block is my own design and if you want to draw out a pattern, you're welcome to do so. Its a simple thing to do using graph paper.
The last two quilts I've finished have rounded corners...a feature that I like very well.
I began this quilt some time before January 2009. I know that because I know I began it prior to being diagnosed with ovarian cancer. My hand-quilting in those days was precise and even. If someone were to look at this quilt they might think two different quilters worked on it for my stitches today are much more uneven and not as precise. It may be due to neuropathy in my hands (which is mild) or it may have to do with the fact that I need a better pair of glasses!
May your day be blessed!

This is beautiful! The last photo shows the colors quite well. I like the round corners, too.
Job well done!
Beautiful quilt! I like how each block is slightly different.
How fortunate the recipient of this beautiful quilt!
Beautiful, Whitestone! Just beautiful!
I really love that fabric, especially around the edges too. It's like gazing up into the galaxy. I am always amazed that people quilt. So much patience is needed. Looks beautiful!
Very lovely!
Your stitching beats MY stitching, even with the neuropathy. Beautiful job. I've been worried about the midwest and these terrible tornadoes and hope all is well with you and yours.
It's a beautiful quilt, I am sure it will be treasured.
Unique and beautiful . . . and a treasure to receive!!
A work of art; absolutely beautiful! A beautiful gift! A treasure to last a lifetime and a reminder to me of the amazing batik quilts that I had done for my children's beds many years ago. If only I had the forethought to keep them to hand on.
I love the detail, beautiful!
What a beautiful quilt! I've always wanted to learn how to do that. I keep thinking I'll have more time some day and then I'll learn how. Wonder when that will be?
