    Default "Healing" Quilt

    This is a quilt that came to me in a dream while I was recovering from surgery. It is my view of healing from the pain. I quilted it in a tight spiral to mimic the ripples in a pond to show how it did get better. It is the first time a design came to me. Hopefully not the last.

    I can see exactly what you wanted to say with this quilt. Hopefully it helped with your recovery. You're very talented.

    Very modern and I am glad you gave the back story on it as it makes more of an impact and helps the viewer gain insight on your design. If you ever show this quilt you need to give the back story on the little explanation card that they often put on the quilts at the show. I like the echo spiral quilting too.

    Very clever. I love the quilting, there are so many quilts that could use ripples like that.
