Found this fabric whilst digging through my mom's quilting stash. It looks similar to Sand Swirl at first glance, but it's drawn very differently. It's also looser and more chaotic. 

Normally I draw steps for patterns I post, but this one is probably pretty obvious. It starts with a simple spiral on a stem, with auras and 'rainbows' added in randomly to fill up the surrounding space. I noticed a few auras that were filled in alternately (like crescent moon) to create a stacked effect. I like that there are lots of subtle differences in the way the spirals are drawn.

The original fabric.


...my first attempt.
