Oh, I'd love to see a pic of it.

I posted under Bali Half-Hexi Quilt, but for some reason when doing a search it doesn't show up now. So here it is:

that is beautiful. I really like the quilting on it. Are the hexagons hard to do. I've never tried them before. Are there any tricks to making it look nice, like yours?....duh...nevermind, I see it's half-hexi. Didn't catch that part. I was just in wow over your quilt.

Beautiful batiks. The picture doesn't do them justice.

Well they are just great and I love them because they are so versatile, I use them in lots of places if I cannot decide what color to use, they always seem to blend in. Enjoy looking at them I also have a problem with cutting up my fabrics.

here is a close up of some tie dye next to some batiks. A batik is like a tie dye, but has prints on them. They are just wonderful.

In the pic it is a tie dye, batik, and another batik. You'll see the difference and fall in love with them for sure.

Thanks! I'll have to look for them next time I go shopping
