A few more moments' work

Back in January I started this journal quilt, and even did a few stitches on it while on the plane. At last, with added handstitching and quilting, and a satinstitched edge, it's finished:
Rather than replicating the 9th century Mesopotamian bowl that inspired it, this piece makes me think of a big splash - and the "cuneiform" elements in the middle are more like sharks' fins than a writing system. Hmm, something for next time perhaps....

Also for next time: either make the quilting look perfectly regular, or perfectly irregular - there's to be no hugging of the middle ground of sloppiness in this. And I'd like to try some more french knots used as quilting.
