Spiraling Out of Control

Spiraling Out of Control - This quilt began in a class at the local quilt shop, using Barbara Olson's book 'Journey of an Art Quilter', where I pieced the center spirals. The teacher told us to leave the outer tails longer so we would have the option to do whatever we wanted to with our quilt (hers had become a flower), mine decided it wanted to continue spiraling. I free hand drew the various spiral shapes, and cut them out using the pieces cut out as more spirals and then adding more smaller ones too. Including the center spiral there are 96 spiral shapes total, hence "Spiraling Out Of Control". I also outlined each section in the center spiral with a coordinating novelty yarn. This quilt is still a work in progress, I believe it is close to being ready to be quilted.
