I love batiks so much, I rarely work with anything else.
The "teacher" of the group has strongly urged quality of work, therefore insuring each block is exactly the same dimentions. If your block is off, she'll send it back. So there is some "quality control" within the group. I, too, am anxious to get to the final blocks so I can see what everyone else did!
I sent the pics to my friend who is doing this with me. She found it interesting that of all the batiks out there, we came up with the same center for the second blue block... :D
