East Meets West 1

Last year, for a few weeks, we had a couple of ladies from the Philippines who were in the States visiting family come to our quilt group.  Quilting was a new endeavor to them, but they dove right in.  Before they left, we had almost enough blocks to make two quilts, so we filled in with a few blocks and I worked on quilting the tops.  Here is East Meets West 1:

This pattern is again the Disappearing Nine Patch with a very scrappy theme.  
For me, every quilt is either an opportunity to try something new or to practice a design. On this quilt I wanted to try doing a flower shape with that started with a swirl. 
In the sashing and outer border I did a combination of swirls and meandering.  
We finished up with a cheerful yellow backing and bound it with a fun multi-coloring fabric. I love a happy quilt. :-)
