Love your colors. I am doing this pattern with batiks, using the light colors in the center and med/dark for the corners;
I got 3 rows put together at a retreat the last of April and I am using 5 inch squares. The reason I am using 5" squares,
is that I am doing another quilt out of batiks that is called On Point, with a black batik sashing. This way I can use moreof my batiks in different quilts instead of cutting a 10 inch square out of a FQ and wasteing fabric. If there is some left, then I cut strings for my spiderweb quilt. I got 3 blocks done of the string spiderweb at retreat. I only
got one row of my guild quilt put together but I hope to have all 4 rows done before our June meeting. If other
things don't keep me from sewing. I will be teaching this 10 minute block at our summer one day retreat in July
and wanted to get a little more done on it so they can see what a row or two would look like using their fabrics.
Are you going to hand sew the center square to look like the cathedral window? I am thinking of doing that; and
putting a design in the center when I machine quilt it and doing meandering on the rest of it?? I laid out the 3
rows and I think I want to add 3 more blocks to it before I put borders on; so it will be 9 blocks across and 12/14
blocks long. I don't like square quilts. I looked at your picture again, I see you machine pieced the cathedral
window look, so disregard my question...lol
