Trilobite, Basic Spiral, Concentric Cirlces, and Matrix Rays



So in my mad dash effort to complete the quilting of Aloha (I have always worked best under pressure by the way) I have done the mountain area, the sky, and am half way through with the sashing. This has been so much fun! And let me tell you I have enjoyed the pattern concentric circles the most for some reason I guess because it has seemed to cause the most impact of all the above stated FMQ designs. I so look forward to that little sliver of time in my day (Lucie's nap time) when I am free to sit down and really play with quilting! I have been working some in at night though lately...but here are the designs and I am really liking how this quilt is shaping up! 



Concentric Circles in one of the mountain areas...I chose to just do the solid grey areas in this design due to the amount of time it takes to quilt.


I really like how the sun turned out....here you can see part of the mountains on each side
Trilobite in the sashing

 Basic Spiral in the sky area done in yellow

In the other area of the mountains I did Matrix Rays on a large scale and then added some concentric circles in randomly in a few of the blocks created (did you follow that) You can kinda see it, but due to the busy pattern it is hard to see on a picture.



And I can't write a post without posting a few of my favorite photos of my baby girl. We took some photos of her at age two and here are a few of my favorites..(Her birthday is actually March 15th but these will be considered her "two year shots".
