Originally I was quilting this piece with white thread to create trapunto-like designs and texture and it just wasn't working ... the circles began to look like a bad case of measles and I thought I was going to have to consign it to the UFO (UnFinished Objects) pile.
But I'm learning ... if you just let a project sit for a bit it allows space for an "aha" moment to happen and change everything! I woke up the other morning with this in my head and I've been tangling with fabric markers and quilting ever since!
It still looks like something biological to me, like blood cells dividing and dancing around.... hmmmm...
