Pebbles and swirls

I've quilted a bit more of the dragonfly quilt. My first attempt at pebbles...
 

And this is based on a design I saw on Leah Day's blog, Poseidon's Eye. I wanted something that looked like eddies in the air from the dragonfly's wings.
 

You can maybe see the pattern a little better on the back. There is a definite circle theme in this quilt.

    Kamyki wyszły wyśmienicie.
    Efekt wiru powietrza również widać!
    Podziwiam Twoją pracę! Jest genialna!!!
    Pozdrawiam serdecznie.
    Pebbles came out great.
    The effect of the vortex air shows!
    I admire your work! It is brilliant!
    Yours sincerely.

    Droga Rona!
    Truskawkowy materiał kupiłam gotowy. Niestety tylko mały kawałek - z wyprzedaży fabrycznej. Śmiało korzystaj z pikowania wokół wzoru. Daje to czasami różne ciekawe efekty, często nawet prawie trójwymiarowe.
    Fajnie jest mieć maszynę z długim ramieniem do pikowania. Ja jeszcze się nie dorobiłam i muszę pikować małymi kroczkami na zwykłej maszynie Janome MC5200.
    Pozdrawiam serdecznie. Ania

    Dear Rona!
    The strawberry fabric was bought in a sale - just a scrap. I can only recommend echo quilting around a pattern as you can get interesting effects sometimes even close to 3D.
    I wish I had access to a long arm quilter, but it is well beyond my means so for the time being I have to stick to my Janome MC5200.
    Best wishes
    Ania

    Rona , I love your quilting. I had always quilted by hand but have been attempting FMQ since the Japanese earthquake ( I did a charity quilt).
    I've learnt a lot from Leah Day too.
