As to others who are in question about the washing - as the swap requires that all fabrics used must be washed. That was a really good idea that hopetoquilt used - is to wash them with an old white t-shirt (wouldn't want you to ruin a good one), and if the shirt is still white you're good to go. Also, a product called Color Catchers that are found in the laundry section, is a good way to tell. Some colors, like the dark Batiks (reds,dark greens, dark blues,etc.) may need to be washed 2-3 times for all the excess color to run clear. Batiks are especially known for having extra dye in them. |
This sounds like a really fun swap, I love Batiks! Got to check my batiks to see if I have enough to do this swap.

so any color, any sample block as long as its a batik? that sounds way cool. I may do this. I'm debating between this one and merry-go-round summer block swap. I might do both though. ^_^

Hope so Linda58 :)
Lady_Paquette, yes, any Batik colors and any 12.5" pattern in sets of 12. If you do more than one set, the fabric and the pattern must be different :) This one is going to be soooo much fun :thumbup: |

Got one set done. The pattern is Antique Tile. I hope to do a second set too, but don't know yet what pattern. :)

I'll make some Rail Fence blocks. I don't think I've ever made any before! :o It'll use up some of this jelly roll I bought awhile back. At the time, I was a little disappointed that a lot of the strips were virtually identical, but the duplicates will come in handy for this. :)
Note to self: Washing jelly roll strips isn't the most fun in the world. :shock: :hunf: ;) |
Moonrise, your blocks look great! Mine will get done on Monday. I have off from work next week.

Moonrise, the antique tiles are stunning. I sure hope I get one in the swap.

Pretty blocks, moonrise!

I know I like both too but the merry go round pattern looks a bity scarey to me. I still need to do a sample block. I did do the last two of Deb's swaps including the Dresden plate. I learned how to do a Dresden plate through that and really enjoyed it. I am well under way with the batik blocks, one set done and one partially done. I'd say join both. Hopefully this weekend I can make my sample block for the merry go round swap and see if I can make it.
