I thought I'd start a thread on a new quilt I'm starting which is going to be a cathedral window pattern in batiks. This is my first time working with batiks, so will be something new for me. My individual blocks will be 4", so this will be a longer term project for me. I'm hoping having a progress thread will help me stay focused to complete it. :)

For the frame fabric, I decided to use a gray batik that has a greenish tint to it as well. I wanted something that looked like the lead in a real window with the green patina to it as well, so this looked pretty good to me. For the glass fabrics, I wanted some colors that were deep and rich looking as well as some lights that looked like glass. I think these look pretty good for that.

Wish me luck! I'll be posting progress pics as things move along. :D
