Kaleidoscopic! That is an amazing work of quilting art.

Wow! I really like that!

Oh, Jennifer, it's gorgeous! It looks like a patchwork galaxy!

That's phenomenal. I have absolutely no fiber arts skills at all, so I'm always really impressed by stuff like this.

Wow, what a fantastic accomplishment!

That makes me want to learn to sew. So, so beautiful!

That is the coolest thing I've seen in a very long time. Is it for you, or a gift, or sale?

it's a gift for my parents. we're seeing them in December, so i'll actually get to see a reaction when i hand it over :)
i follow my mom's rule here (she's a knitter, but it still applies) that i can give it away or auction it, but it can't be sold. if i toted up the cost of materials and then paid myself an hourly rate well below minimum wage the price would put it in an art gallery. and my technical skills aren't up to that. yet.

I like your mother's rules.

That's stunning! I would love to see some closer photos of it (they may be on flickr and I'm just to tired to look right now) to really see some of the interior. That is a really gorgeous piece of work. Wow!

i didn't post any closeups, but this one at full size helps you see the individual blocks a little better.
