Time Square – Celebrating new times ahead

Our challenge was to design a medallion style quilt. I am posting mine on the last day of the year for a reason. As we all know we all have the same amount of time given to us.

I can still dream about the time in the future but I will always be pulled back to the middle to find the balance I need to have a creative and happy life.
