Thought I'd try this out. Think I like the unwhacked ones better.

Funny you should post this. But I just read through a whack book and they recommend you stay away from batiks for this type of project as there isn't enough contrast in the fabric to make it interesting.
I have to agree I like the un-whacked blocks better too.

I'm a precision nut. I like 'em better unwhacked. Next time you can try just mixing up the blocks on the first sewing. No, you don't get the diagonals. Who needs 'em when you have such great fabric choices. Just love the batiks.
