Cosmic Happenings

With various things happening around here, I almost forgot to post the photos of a finished quilt! This is Cosmic Happenings, parts of which I posted during the construction. Now it’s finished and all ready to be given to its recipients.

Each of the four blocks is 14″ square, and the “rays” are dimensional so as to be manipulated according to Jennie Rayment‘s instructions.

I quilted straight lines between the blocks and around the borders and then did some free motion quilting around the pieced motifs and inner border. I did a simple swirl pattern in the outer border — no complicated quilting this time, as the piecing is the main focus of the piece.
