WIP: Art Quilt: Space and Time

I've finally started quilting this one: one of the first things I ever started working on when I took up quilting.

I'm pleased with the way the design is turning out but I'm unhappy with the quality of my quilting technique.  I suppose I ought to give it time.  This quilting thing is much harder than it seems, especially when using a regular sewing foot rather than a walking foot or a quilting foot.  I'm planning on getting those soon though.

The batik is inspired by outer space, which you can see from my computer desktop, is generally an ispiration to me.  I plan to quilt around the shapes in the batik as well.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do about the fact that this quilt has two fronts.  Neither is a back.  I think it is meant to hang from the ceiling in a hallway so that it is viewed on one side while walking one way and the other when walking back again.  Now all I have to do is find the hallway.
