The Center #2
I had so much fun creating “Deb’s Building” for the last prompt (building), I decided to create another version for the prompt “light.” Here are the two quilts side by side. And yes, the color of The Center changes in real life, too. I think the green version shows the

Gaudi’s Windows
It was my turn to choose the prompt for this round and I have been saving this idea for such an opportunity. In keeping with my overall theme of Antoni Gaudi I went through my pictures taken on my last trip to Barcelona. It had been a few years since
