OMG: That's A Swirl

I completed my January One Monthly Goal and even had one day to spare! 

I designed this quilt about 18 months ago. I convinced my mom to make it for me--so much cutting!! 

She pieced it and then it sat in my "to be quilted" pile for too long. Now it's done!

Here's a close-up of the quilting. Because it's raw edge applique, I wanted to close as close to the edges as I could, without doing something like a zig zag stitch. That would be a lot of zig zagging! 

For the swirls themselves, I followed the swirl pattern with free motion quilting--which is why the lines aren't anywhere near perfect! For the background, I used pebbles. The quilting obviously shows up more on the white than the prints. 

Now to write the pattern...
