Finally! I got the thing quilted - it only took me thousands of hours - most of the afternoon and evening of slogging along. The stitching is finished and now I have to decide how to finish the edges. You may be able to see it better if you click on it to enlarge-- I am looking at it on my laptop, which is a bit difficult. I stopped binding my quilts years ago, but this may need something and I have an idea I will experiment with tomorrow. Here is a detail.
I did take a walk this afternoon, around 4:00. It was COLD! But I put on the sneakers and two sweatshirts and fleece gloves and got my heart rate up. Good thing, too, because we went out for drinks & dinner tonight. Another studio day tomorrow? I hope so.

Spirals are always a favorite for me. I like the complexity of all these patterns and colors.
Rayna,
This is too gorgeous, I could look at it every day. Have you thought about facing instead of binding? Jen
Jen, I always face my quilts and yes, I am not going to tamper with the usual routine. Thanks!
I'm enjoying looking at it, too.
Is there no end to your talent? The gren-eyed monster has my dolling over how groovy this piece is....slinking off into corner in envy.
It's gorgeous! I love all the color, movement, and detail creating a shifting depth perception! How big is this piece? Congrats on a job well done, or almost done save for the finishing!
Yummy!!
