Spiral Quilt Series
When looking through a 2009 sketchbook, I found a little sketch that got stuck spiraling around in my brain. In 2021 that simple sketch is becoming a series of little quilts. Enjoy the gallery of Spiral Quilts
Contact me if you would like to purchase a Spiral quilt from the gallery or commission a Spiral quilt (based on how you color the template, inspired by a favorite artwork or photo, or inspired by an important object or event).
