What a great batch of batiks, they have such wonderful colors and patterns, I think they are my favorite material to use for quilts, although not as many as I would like. I have a Mariner's Compass in the works in batiks, then I searched for 2-3 years for just the right batiks to use for a Boston Commons quilt that I saw on the cover of a quilt magazine, Traditional Quilters, I think; but it was made by the owner of Heartbeat Quilts on the Cape. I hope to get to that quilt in a year or two after making a king size quilt for my DS and DDIL, and a great number of quilts to make on my "Roundtoit List", so hope I get around to doing it soon. I think it's wonderful when you make a quilt for someone who literally "loves it to pieces", what a wonderful commentary on how well they loved the quilt. My son still has his Triple Irish Chain I made him when he was about 12, and even when he would leave and come back home, the quilt always came with him.
