Sometimes you just have to wait for the inspiration.
Well, I got 3/4 of the spiral sewed and laid it on the table, when it came to me. One of the pictures I had found of the SOL head would be perfect for this spiral - with the crown "rays" radiating onto the spiral. So I Photoshoped the pix and printed it out large enough to cover my spot. I put a piece of fabric under the quilt top, to fill in the gap but I won't be using that. I am still working on that part. So my SOL head will need about 3 colors of bronze patina greens. I am going to trace the pieces onto freezer fabrics and applique them onto the quilt. Also, you will note that the crown rays are not complete. They will be when I am done. I will get some marbalized papers. Now I just have to figure out what to do with the gap in the spiral. Do I continue it, if so that is going to require a lot of picking out stitches & resewing strips. Oh well, like Nicole said - good thing I have 6 weeks till her birthday!
As it turns out (& like I thought) Alberto was nothing. In fact we left work early yesterday and it didn't rain again until the evening. When I got the paper this morning the wind was blowing and that was it. No biggie.
OK better go now - peace my friends.
