The FINAL Mandala…..finally!

My Mandala project was started in January of 2024, hot on the heels of my “Grid Quilting” project in 2023.

To me, the mandalas were simply an extension of that project. I was still quilting on a grid, but the grid went around in circles!

At first, I despaired of being able to come up with 12 mandala designs, but I quickly got into a groove and enjoyed designing them each month.

I learned a lot along the way.

Most importantly, the mandala should have a theme, or at least have designs that were repeated throughout the circle.

Secondly, the design needed to be quilt-able…..without a lot of starts and stops!!

As you will see, I struggled with that second point in mandala #12!

I love the “peacock” feel of number 12….

I have a “Quilt-As-You-Go” planned for finishing this quilt up, so stay tuned for that!!
