It started out as a study in half square triangles which I decided I needed to master, well, at least try to tame.
It started out with the name Bali Star.
Once I had the top sewn together, I took a look back at it and thought gee, the center looks a bit muddled, the center detail just didn't show as crisply as it did in the EQ design. It looked chaotic.

And then the terrifying images began to air of the destruction that was unfolding in Indonesia and the all the countries of the Indian Ocean. It was heartbreaking. The quilt got it's name that Boxing Day in 2004.
This quilt reminds me how fragile life is and to make the most of every moment, however humble it may be. You never know what the next moment might bring.

| I tried to add a wave aspect to the quilting. I had a few areas of broken threads and skipped stitches (grrrrr) and had to redo those areas. Wherever I had to fix, I added an 'eratic' circle like the one on the left side of the purple fabric. That seemed fitting too for a Tsunami Quilt. |
