New Zealand Manhole cover




My twenty-year-old neighbor, Maggie, is living in Wellington, New Zealand for a year. She posted this photo of one of the manhole covers back in July. I thought it would be a fun 12x12" quilt for our twisted stitcher challenge.

I drew it on some batik fabric and carefully cut it out with tiny scissors so I would have a positive and a negative of the image. Here's the positive.



... and the negative.



I'll get one of them quilted before the deadline.
