Quilting spirals

The finished baby quilt has four spirals on the top breaking the top into quarters

I did each spiral in a different color


It isn't as smooth as I'd like but not bad for the first try.
Overlapping spirals

On each side where the  spirals overlapped I wrote the name of all the thread colors I quilted with: yellow,
red, blue and green.


I'm linking up with Amanda Jean because this is my first finish in a while :0)
