Imperfect symmetry is more interesting to me than perfect kaleidoscope type symmetry. Nature is full of not quite perfect symmetry, and rather lacking in much that is perfect.
Radial symmetry makes me think of circles, so I began by painting some white fabric with circles. This will be an under-painting when the quilt is complete. Many of my green succulents have a bit of red or yellow in them.
I have traced some succulent shapes onto interfacing. I will place it behind the batting, and quilt the shapes from the back, and then add more paint.
When I am done, I plan to select a section which can be matted and framed, and turn the remainder into ATC’s.

I just wanted to tell you, that I got to see your "One foot square" at the Long Beach quilt show. It is absolutely beautiful. I am so in awe of how you do all that stitching. So glad I got to see it in person. Love your blog.
i will be waiting to see all your finished projects! You are off to a great start!!! love you colors!
I just joined FFFC when Cynthia made the call for new members. I'm so excited! I looked through the website and saw your succulents; they're lovely, of course. I had no idea they started off in this color range. No wonder the end result is so rich!
