Big wonky swirls - #7

Here's a blue HeartStrings top pieced by Karen A. that I quilted with swirls -- they got a little wild on me but I don't mind some wonkiness in a string quilt.

Swirls are a good complement to the angles of the strings, and this is great. I like her layout of the blocks.

On days when I know I am going to quilt I save your blog for reading last. It motivates me every time to get some quilting done. I love your work. :) Thanks for taking time out of your busy days to help motivate "us quilters" out here in blogland my friend!

I love the swirls they look great, especially on a quilt such as this one with lots of straight lines in it.

Hi Mary,
Its good to them them swirl freely, otherwise they look too perfect, that is the way I feel anyway. Besides it has worked they look good.
