Purple is my favorite color and I just love a good spiral.  Paper pieced.  Machine quilted, hand guided.  Published design: Arabesque by Orange Dot quilts (CLICK HERE!) 

Here is the original Arabesque design in beautiful blues from Orange Dot Quilts. A "Color Me page comes with the pattern so you can create your own design and color combination.
