Betty's Sunflowers

This morning i woke up incredibly early (9 a.m) with an uncontrollable urge to stitch so i picked up the interlocking ring quilt I've been working on for my grandma. It's sort of a variation of double wedding ring but the rings connect and don't cross, leaving large open white spaces in between begging for an eye catching design. I finally decided to quilt very pale sunflowers into each center and use multi colored jewel thread to quilt vines around each ring. What do you think? Do you think that the sunflowers will draw the eye away from the rings to much and destroy the overall pattern?

So! I have a blog.

Well then! Hello all you non existent readers! Blogging was one of those things I'd sworn not to do but with all the wonderful quilt blogs I've been reading lately i thought it'd be fun to make one myself, even if it serves to do nothing but provide an album of my quilts to direct people towards.
     A large push towards making this was that I had always assumed that i was the only quilter in the world that was under the age of 50. I discovered upon my stumble into the world of blogging that this is not so! So on that note, who knows, maybe another sad little amateur artist will stumble onto my blog and not feel so alone!
