First, I want to thank all of you for the lovely response to the BOM Florabunda. I think this is going to be huge fun. I’m thinking we might need an online gallery so I’m looking into having a FLICKR group for us. I will let you know as soon as I figure it out.
Also, to thank you I am going to do my very first GIVE-AWAY tomorrow. I’m going to one of my favorite quilt shops later today to pick out some goodies.
Lastly, I want to know what’s in your UFO basket (Un Finished Object). Be sure to think about it and post it in comments tomorrow to qualify for the GIVE-AWAY.
The quilt shown above is one of MANY in my UFO basket (it’s a very big basket actually). Let me explain. A few years ago I had a small obsession with circular quilts. After I made Sri Yantra I designed a few more in a circular pattern. I think it was because I was in a show called ART+MATH or maybe I was just being incredibly nerdy. When I showed the above quilt to my doctor friend he said
“Make sure you don’t induce epileptic seizures in your audience”
So now the quilt is referenced as “The Epileptic Seizure Quilt” and lives in my UFO basket. It does actually make me a little dizzy when I look at it. Does anyone have a better name?
DISCLAIMER: I hope people aren’t offended by this, I mean no disrespect for people dealing with epilepsy.
Sri Yantra Quilt
I might call it Vertigo. :-)

Ok I have a second comment... the more I look at it, the more it makes me think of looking onto a bottomless cave, or well. I think it is really terrific! What an amazing job you did.

Beautiful quilts. An amazing piecing job.

It looks like a spikey black hole to me, except the hole is pink. So, "Spikey Pink Hole" would be my suggestion.
It's a great quilt, whatever you call it.

it makes me think of a Gerber Daisy - WOW

for me the blue quilt seems to move in and out. I do understand your doctor's comment although I wouldn't think something that really doesn't move would do it.

My first impression was that it was a beautiful Mayan Hieroglypic. Perhaps it was the colors and feeling that gave me that impression or that I see a pyramid in the structure. It is beautiful and would be striking hanging on an entry way.

I like your quilt. In my UFO basket is my rhapsody quilt.

Love your quilts! Sorry, I don't have a suggestion for a different name for the blue quilt.

I checked out my UFO situation - it is really scary - my time would be better spent working on them rather than counting them
