Fabulous! That's a heck of a lot of piecing. I can't decide which side I
like better...they are both stunning.
Your friend will be thrilled and the baby will love looking at the colors
and designs. Congratulations!
With those fabrics and designs, I don't think you have to stress over the
quilting. It will be just fine!

Those of you who know me fairly well will be 'surprised' to see these
quilts! Well - it's one really, double-sided.
I am showing you at this stage, in case the double-siding doesn't work
(Eek!) or in case I mess up the quilting (double Eek!). In any case, I
don't think the quilting will show at all g

My friend Sarah is expecting her first baby (at 40) and I so wanted to
make her baby quilt. However, she said 'no pastels'!! I was hoping for
one of those 'sweetly pretty' quilts that I rarely, if ever, have a chance
to make.
The first group of fabrics and pattern had to be abandoned. I am very
pleased that these worked out just fine (I think)

I hope you think I have fulfilled her wishes. The spirals are the top.

Awesome! Definately "anything but pastel" and very eye catching. I love
the color combinations on both sides. I also like the way you did the two
different sizes of the same block.

Oh, Pat! That's a *wonderful* baby quilt! I have no doubt at all that
your friend will love it or that her baby will love it to shreds!

How in the world are you going to match up the front and back
accurately?

I love the spirals! Both sides are a lot of fun, and look great, but
there's something about the spiral top that just catches my eye.
Beautiful job, I'll be she loves it.

Ah Polly! I didn't think I had any wild in me to be let out!
Actually, it was terribly hard - the very minimum of planning; fabric
just in two piles on the table. Then those moments what to put with the
next one you pick up, when another colour has the one that would be
'right'. Boy, I struggled with even a small amount of randomness gg
I did have one rule (but that was all!).

I'm really glad you have seen that I could once do it - it will be a
very long time before anything like that gets done again!! (thought I
do have a commission for a scrappy Chinese Coins - I hope I'll survive
that!).

If someone had told me those were your quilts, I would have just known that
they had been smoking some of that funny stuff. Ain't no way. I'd be
certain that you could not, did not, had not.
You did that?
Hey, everybody! Pat has let her wild side out. I am just so tickled.
Way to go, Pat. Wonderful.

Well, if the double-siding doesn't work out, I might be glad to find a
home for the result g

And the small spirals go the opposite way round from the larger ones.
Perhaps that gives movement too? I hadn't thought of any effects, I
just wanted them to be different. Did you notice their direction?
I'm glad you like them. Thanks.

Love them both! Especially the way the different size spirals makes
them sort of vibrate. Wonderful!

Thanks Mary. I'm so glad I made a reasonable attempt at
non-traditional! I don't think my friend will believe (like Polly) that
I did them myself g
