While waiting for a temporary computer I had the opportunity to wash and naturally dry the quilt on the drying rack, in front our wood stove. What a wonderfully nice freshly washed smell it now has.
According to some people, December 12, 2012 is a significant date. That's when the otherwise very accurate Mayan calendar ends. Of those believers, there are those whom believe our world will end! How dramatic!!! You really should Google the subject for the whole story and all the versions...
I am not so sure exactly what will happen (possibly just a few minutes will be added or subtracted to our day, week, month or even just to the year) but am eagerly awaiting the eve of December 12. PARTY!!!!
I am sure you have guessed, all the circles represent planets and stars. I chose to use a light blue background to represent the sky. It's a nice calming color and shows my belief that everything will be fine and December 13. We will have blue skies and great weather (plus compositionally, it really pulls the blue in some of the blocks out, bringing the quilt colors together, nicely). Hey, maybe even the economy will reverse itself!!!!
The quilt is bigger than I planned. It is 56"x74" and is shown spread out on a king sized bed, making it a good quilt for most bed sizes and a topper for a king!
