you have to understand

The bird cross-stitch pictures I posted last week were stitched starting in April and ending in early July. This is what I've been working on since [g]:



It's an Ink Circles Roll Your Own Mandala. Tracy, the designer, provides the pattern(s) -- she's making six different ones, and I've bought into all six -- and an assortment of color combinations, and the directions on how to create your own color combination. This is a color combination I created. The intent was to create an analogous color scheme based on green. I'm thinking about doing a similar color scheme for all three primary and all three secondary colors. Then I have no idea what I'm going to do with them. Maybe insert them into a quilt, whether bed-sized or wall-hanging. We'll see. I'm also participating in a series of quilt block swaps using rainbow colors, too, so they might go well together.

At any rate, this is a long-term project, and I'll be shocked if there's a completed quilt or whatever in less than three years.
