Quilt Expo 2011- Part 2 - Liberated

The classic quilting is so neat, tidy, organized. This is glorious chaos and totally counter intuitive for me and my OCD brain. But while I'm pretty sure I could not stray that far from a classic quilt, I admire the wonders created by free spirits. I hope to be able to free myself enough one day to infuse some of this beauty in my creations.
