I made this quilt for my cousin Vicki, who is a world traveler. The center motif is from Puerto Rico and I had been making lots of compasses that year. So, after making the cartwheel motif, I added the flying geese around it. I wanted to include mariner's compasses with a lot of movement and sparkle.
I liked the square in a square idea, and I wanted it to be asymmetrical and balanced. So after a lot of thinking and drawing pictures I came up with this design. I think it's the first quilt that I completely designed myself.
