New circles

It is some time ago that I posted a circle quilt, but here is my latest:

I used a mixture of commercial and hand dyed fabrics for it. Circles are hand drawn, which explains why they are not exacty round :-) .

Niza's leaves

And here is Niza's 4th leaf quilt:

Niza's leaves

Niza has difficulties posting on the blog, so I do this for her. Here are her first 3 leaves:

I do not know the inspiration for the first two, but the third one is inspired by the leaves of the cactus adapting to life in the desert. Long and thin thrones not to loose water by evaporation.

Hi,

My name is Sally Westcott.  I live in Tasmania Australia. This is my first quilt in a series about seed pods.  I am looking forward to seeing where this takes me.  I have a few ideas but my quilting sometimes takes on a mind of its own.. Thank you for letting me join this group.
