What fun! I hope it doesn't offend you to say this but I LOVE the back more than the front. I suspect it has something to do with my being a control freak - the different sized blocks "bother" me. It is beautiful though :-)

I am very fond of the back, too, Rita. . In message , Rita L in MA writes

They (it) are wonderful, Pat. I love your spirals, and I think the baby will love the colors.

I love the spirals! Both sides are a lot of fun, and look great, but there's something about the spiral top that just catches my eye. Beautiful job, I'll be she loves it.

If someone had told me those were your quilts, I would have just known that they had been smoking some of that funny stuff. Ain't no way. I'd be certain that you could not, did not, had not. You did that? Hey, everybody! Pat has let her wild side out. I am just so tickled. Way to go, Pat. Wonderful. Polly

I'd take either one! Nice job, Pat.

Whow Pat. Way to go , as they say! lol. I love them both and know that it will be very well received for new baby. I wonder which side it will favour! lol As for double sided. Eek too!

WOW......definitely not pastels nor boring. :)

Fabulous! That's a heck of a lot of piecing. I can't decide which side I like better...they are both stunning. Your friend will be thrilled and the baby will love looking at the colors and designs. Congratulations! With those fabrics and designs, I don't think you have to stress over the quilting. It will be just fine!

Awesome! Definately "anything but pastel" and very eye catching. I love the color combinations on both sides. I also like the way you did the two different sizes of the same block.

Oh, Pat! That's a *wonderful* baby quilt! I have no doubt at all that your friend will love it or that her baby will love it to shreds! ;)

How in the world are you going to match up the front and back accurately?

Thanks Louise. I hope they will like the dazzles! . In message , Louise in Iowa writes

Glad you like it Vicky. It's lovely when an idea comes together. . In message , VickyB writes

Ah Polly! I didn't think I had any wild in me to be let out! Actually, it was terribly hard - the very minimum of planning; fabric just in two piles on the table. Then those moments what to put with the next one you pick up, when another colour has the one that would be 'right'. Boy, I struggled with even a small amount of randomness >gg< I did have one rule (but that was all!).

I'm really glad you have seen that I could once do it - it will be a very long time before anything like that gets done again!! (thought I do have a commission for a scrappy Chinese Coins - I hope I'll survive that!). . In message , Polly Esther writes

Well, if the double-siding doesn't work out, I might be glad to find a home for the result >g< . In message , Ginger in CA writes

And the small spirals go the opposite way round from the larger ones. Perhaps that gives movement too? I hadn't thought of any effects, I just wanted them to be different. Did you notice their direction? I'm glad you like them. Thanks. . In message , Roberta writes

I might never know! Really glad you like them. Gives me hope >g< . In message , Estelle Gallagher writes

Thanks Mary. I'm so glad I made a reasonable attempt at non-traditional! I don't think my friend will believe (like Polly) that I did them myself >g< . In message , maryd writes
