It's like one is looking at the sun.

The center blocks started from a pattern but I soon discovered I had too much wasted material. That was when I had to rethink and redesign. So I guess you could say that it's an original.

The combined fabric colors was fun to pick out.

No, I did not do it in satin. It's all cotton fabrics. This is the third quilt that I have ever made and it was a little more difficult and took longer than the first two quilts.

The various medium fabric colors did bring life to this quilt.

It's a generous lap size quilt 76 1/2 "x 76 1/2". I used about 90 fat quarters of various shades ( cream, tan, mediums, dark brown, finishing with blacks. Various widths are cut and sewn to accomodate a 6 1/2" x 6 1/2" template. I believe you are seeing most of the quilt, but I will try to add another picture if I'm allowed. The backing color is a rich batik brown.
