'Quilling Spring Flowers' by ParadoxAndPlaid

First Quilt Challenge Entry

Our first challenge entry for the Clothscapes Quilt inspiration comes from PaperTwirlies team member CurlyQuills.  She was inspired by the squares and the rainbow colours and came up with a graphic design.  I could just see this hanging on the wall in a restaurant!  Couldn't you?

Click on the image to go to CurlyQuill's blog and see the full making of this item and how the quilt sparked the inspiration for this piece!

Double the Quilling

It's been a while since the Paper Twirlies team blog had an update on team finds. (I apologize for that!) So, to make up for it, I've got a 2-fer! Two team members are featured in this first treasury: CurlyQuills' earrings and NavankaCreations' keepsake box are featured.
