With a few weeks left until the deadline to enter World Quilt Show Florida, I’m still adding the finishing quilted touches I didn’t have time for before QuiltFest Jacksonville.

The peach arcs surrounding my center color wheel compass are puffy, as you can see. The circles I’d previously quilted weren’t enough to make it lay flat.

This looks like another job for one of my favorite versatile quilting fillers, curls and swirls. Reaching out from the center circles, they remind me of sun’s rays, which is perfect. Of course I tried it on a scrap with batting first.

And voila – it lays flat now and looks great!
