Another Rayna-Influenced Quilt

No string is too small!  A friend gave me these after she trimmed down a jelly roll (!)

Very nice. I love strings and circles and I prefer the vertical form!

Great quilt! Do you plan to hang it? It reminds me of a painting.

that is fabulous-another WONDERFUL example of something BEAUTIFUL from nothing!

I luv it and I think that the horizontal orientation is perfection!

Raynas book really changed my perception-you are so LUCKY to have taken a class from her in person!

The movement shows better in the quilt with the new orientation. This is a gorgeous quilt rendering.

I need to look into Rayna's workshops to tap into my inner quilt designer.
