Thread: Batik Block Swap - Round Two -- Sign-up deadline December 31, 2010 - Mailing deadline January 15, 2011

I just finished my first set of blocks for this second round of batik blocks. I thought you all might like a glimpse of this set. I thought it would be fun to mix up the colors a little this time around. The block is 'card tricks'. juliasb

I am not a good photographer!

They're very inspiring, Julia. Lovely blocks.

Both of my favorites....Batiks & the Card Trick block. I did this block with my quilt group also in all Batiks.

while searching for a panel i bought some time ago i found some more batik fabric, now the decision of picking a block or two.

I love Card Trick. Hope I get one of them. Washed and ironed my batiks today. Seeing your finished blocks is inspiring!

My room mate must think I am crazy leaving a small container of laundry soap at the kitchen sink. I was my batiks by hand then hang them outdoors to dry over the porch rail (I don't have a clothes line any more). Here is a better picture of one of the blocks. I am a terrible photographer. The blocks are not that red or purple. this picture is closer to the colors.

batik card tricks a better picture

Beautiful colors. I love them.

I just finished my second set of blocks a moment ago. They are squared up and ready for their labels! This set is all the same. the block is called "Sickle Variation"

I only wish I could take good pictures!

I sure do like that way you did the colors on that... :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I've started my blocks. While I don't know the name of the block, probably someone here will! The dark fabric will be the same on each, but the lighter color will vary.
