As with mine this is actually a turning 30. So it is pretty big. According to the Warm and Natural wadding we have put aside for it its a queen size. It is laid out on our Ikea king size bed to give you some idea of the size. It is inspired by a book , have a look at Robins blog for a quote from it. It will be quilted with flames in a very cool varigated thread. I just have to be careful to keep the quilting very open and flowing. Really if it goes to plan (and it has to or I will run out of thread) I should get it quilted very quickly.
This is the third and final Turning Twenty Again. It hasn't told me it's name yet, but then I haven't been working on it long. I should point out that both these tops were started yesterday afternoon and we have both been out all day. I guess it will tell me as I quilt it. I wanted to see what effect 1/3 black would have on it, and I like it. If I do make another I think I will try 2/3 black. It should give very sparse blocks of colour which I think will be really interesting and a great canvas for quilting on. I like the idea of random disjointed areas of colour. I also think it would be a good pattern to modify to get a very Mondrian look. I can see a lot of that style in this one and I would like to take that further.

Two quilts in one day - wow! Love the color choices for both of them. Have you considered the all-over swirl that Nichole Webb and Jamie Wallen do on the multi-colored one? Sonething swirly might be good against the color blocks.
I am thinking of doing the same sort of curls I did in the background of the nude. I agree that something curvey is the way to go. The question is do I take a chance on using a silver metalic thread?
They're so pretty!
