Delightful quilt!
|
neat quilt! never a big fan of batiks, but coming to love them as I see more and more beautiful work done on this board.
|
I never could afford batiks on my budget,but a friend turned me on to them. I do hand needleturn applique and batiks are great for this .They dont ravel and the colors are great in Jacobean type applique .I am finishing a sampler one of flowere and it is gorgeous. Also can do on my SS budget as I can buy as little as and eighth of a yard of fabric and get many piecee. hope this makes sense.

Love those colors MaryB; another Batik addict here. Love the Bali Pops and Jelly Rolls etc. etc., lately have made some handbags from the strips and totes etc. for Christmas gifts. Am going to start on a quilt very soon ... having trouble deciding which color combination; they are endless.

I have been in love with batiks for years. I gravitate toward them whenever I'm in a fabric store. I drool, I fondle, I buy. I've made several quilts using only batiks or batiks and a solid. I am working on another now. All of the quilts shown in this thread are absolutely beautiful!

I am in the process of collecting fabrics for it, but plan to take a class. Marcia |

Judy Neimeyer, or have you done others? Marcia |

I am working on a batik quilt with embroderied iris on it. The colors are blue, green and lavender with a multi colored batik for the main fabric. It's been a chalenge! I call it "Crazy about Iris".
Thanks, and God Bless. Cherie |
I hope this worked, here are 2 of my latest quilts
http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-93128-1.htm I can't seem to look at anything but Batiks. It's like no other fabrics are in the quilt shops. Your quilt is just "Beautiful" ,a true work of art. Thanks for sharing! |
