Lisa got me a FQ pack of batiks a while ago, and I've finally decided what to do with them! I added some extra yardage, and sizzixed (is there such a word?) a whole load of tumbler blocks. As husband describes my hobby - I cut it up and sewed it back together again!
And now they look like this:
And all quilted proper like too!
And it's going to be bound with a wiggly edge following the curve of the blocks - I love lazy Saturdays!

Just think what kind of fabric she will bring back from Australia...
ReplyDeleteShe's got great taste - love batiks.
Mine got some ikat from Guatamala for me - limited by her backpack.
I won't see it until she gets back in March.
I'm not a fan of batiks, until they are all stitched up into a quilt, like this one! Good job!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great burst of colour on a grey day!
ReplyDeleteA great fun quilt!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful :)
ReplyDeleteI love the quilting and what a great new word you invented :-)
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of the zigzag edge. What colour will you use in the binding?
