Well, more or less done. I could still quilt it; right now it's just top-stitched real close to the edge. Pattern suggests you quilt it w/ stitch in the ditch or free-motion. I've done neither (yet) as it is going w/ me to guild tonight!
First, pics of top finished, showing "stepped" edges, then finished product. Pattern calls for layering, sewing edge & flipping right side out. I'm not a huge fan of that look, and went back and forth with whether I wanted to bind it or not... But with the two sides being such different color, couldn't decide what I'd bind it in - a brown? Rusty red? Or just flip? So I just flipped it & top stitched.
I do love this pattern, it's really quite easy. If you saw my last project, you'll understand why I so appreciated having nothing to match up. Sew strips, cut wedges (the hardest part, really), sew together. Voila!

Love it. I've made several now, and I agree, it's such an easy pattern, once you do the first one. I really like how there is contrast between your colors. It makes the spiral effect so vivid.... Very nice
