Cosmic Gyre

I finished the binding on this one last week, but I just got around to taking a picture of it today.  It is the finished product of this quilt that I posted about back in February.  The pattern is called Simplish and it is available for free from Shabby Fabrics.

I decided to name it Cosmic Gyre because of the circular motif and the colors in the fabric.  Some of the fabrics made me think of the galaxy pictures I've seen.  I also wanted to use a term that evoked circles without actually using the word circle.  I decided on gyre because it means spiral (think gyrate), and Hozier uses the term in one of the songs on his newest album, so it was in my mind.
