So two sets of CT jelly rolls will be about right, since most include 20-24 strips. I LOVE the CT batiks, but have convinced myself NOT to purchase any... |
Oh, and I have the Morning Glory block applique'd, have decided to unpin the organza and sashiko a butterfly near each flower. I know, I am just a tease. It will be posted soon......I am really hooked on these.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]342131[/ATTACH]This is the second block from Shadow Applique' that I promised to post. This is for my Uncle. My Aunt died last November. Uncle loves Morning Glories, and Aunt loved butterflies. I am hoping this will bring him some comfort when he sees how much I loved her.

Deb those are stunning !
|
Can't find words Deb. Your blocks are beautiful.
|
Batiks are so pretty but I have none. I don't really know how to use them.
|
The shine-y part of this is the organza over the block. All the stitching is done on top of that. At first one thinks,"Oh, all those tiny pieces", but once they are 'stuck' on, the whole block comes together very fast. Batiks are really the best for these blocks, but I am thinking that Asian fabrics with small print would also be stunning. Looking for the next pattern to do! OH.... and I placed another order from CT for the summer FQ marbled sampler.....and then saw the SALE fabric, and ordered some of that as well.

Burch - I know what you are saying. I saw the Mirage sampler - like the light colors (more pastels) and my fingers are itching to hit the ORDER button. Noticed that I also need some more greens to go with the batik collection for my flower panels.....oh - that $50 free shipping won't be a problem....
