Thanks to the encouragement (and guilt inducing support) of an online UFO finishing group this batik is now a done deal! Yes, the scrambled layout is on purpose-it took me days to arrange! And the free-motion machine quilting (on my 35 year old Viking) includes my favorite 'snail shell' pattern plus lots of uplifting words, such as joy, peace, love, bless. All this in response to the last class instructor's comment, "I love quilts that make my eye travel, search for, and find surprises".
