This one just needs to be bound. It was hard to get it all in one picture!

I used all batiks which I had been collecting for a few years and quilted it in 3/4" vertical lines on my mid arm Tiara. Incredibly, I had only one thread break the entire quilt.

You do such lovely work. Since my brain just doesn't think in terms of the stitches, I always love to see what your mind comes up with because it's usually just the right thing!

Fantastic quilt, Watson! I love batiks, and I love the colors you used. Is this for your own bed? It will surely brighten up the room for whoever gets it.

I totally agree...love your choice of fabric and color placement. What a lovely quilt.

Barb2018 02-23-2020 08:40 AM

It's fantastic!! I love it! I've never seen a batik that I didn't love.

BrendaK 02-23-2020 11:54 AM

Beautiful quilt. Love it. I also love batiks. I have quite a few myself and when I look at them I am not sure how I want to cut them. You did a great job. BrendaK

Tish05 02-23-2020 03:18 PM

I remember when you were working on this a while ago. Love the way you put all the batiks together and the quilting is perfect for it!

Claire123 02-29-2020 09:33 PM

Beautiful!

Taughtby Grandma 03-01-2020 03:53 AM

Very vibrant! I love the colors!

WMUTeach 03-01-2020 04:12 AM

Oh, I hope my small bin of Batik scraps is deep enough to give your pattern a try. It would make a beautiful throw to add a bit of color to a living room, family room or across the end of a bed.

aashley333 03-01-2020 06:06 AM

This quilt is beautiful! I'd like to attempt to make one similar, but not sure how to start. Could you explain how you pieced the quilt? Did you make the rows, or the columns, or i don't know. They all line up perfectly! How did you achieve that?

I'll include a picture that I hope explains how I made the blocks. If it still doesn't make sense, please let me know.

As to how I put them together, I did them in rows, so that I could iron all the seams in one direction for one row and in the other direction for the next row, so they would nest. Because there are so many seams, there is quite a lot of give so you can "ease" the seams to match quite easily.

Then, I split the entire quilt into three sections, so I wasn't handling the whole thing at once and put the three sections together at the end.

Clear as mud?
