Absolutely beautiful.
|
Stunning!
|
That's very beautiful. I love batiks, and your colors are really pretty.
|
Beautiful quilt!!
|
It's lovely. Makes me wish I could enter the drawing. ;)
|
It is indeed a beauty! I hate it when I make something to give away and then want to keep it. But that's what we learned in kindergarten, to share! I'm making a third copy of a quilt that I wanted and haven't been able to hang on to. This one will be MINE! I hope!
Time to make yourself one of these too, I think. It's wonderful. |
That is an awesome quilt. I would want to keep it too.
|
JLJACK...PERHAPS YOU WILL WIN IT BACK IN THE DRAWING..

Yes, that is a beauty as you said.
You do lovely work! And, "no", I could NOT give it up---- |
It is beautiful! I would have a hard time parting with it!
|
FREAKIN BEAUTIMUS !!!!! LOVE your colors !!!

Thank you soooo much for the info. It is absolutely beautiful.

When making it, the blocks are fairly easy, but you have to follow the photos to place the blocks to get the effect. I ended up making a copy of the photo and numbering the places where the blocks go to get the pattern right. You'll notice that every block has twin, and they have to be placed in the right place to get the square, square look. I love how it came out, too. Hope you find it as easy as I did. The pattern is called Illusion in Neutrals. |
Thanks, MaryJane....I do hope I win it back!!! My ticket will be in there with everyone else's!!
|
jljack, I love the quilt, and I know the magazine you speak of. I just can't find my copy right now. (I'm trying to get my sewing room re-organized...some of my things I've 'organized' TOO well and can't find them back...yet!
|
very pretty - lucky office folks...
|
Beautiful!
|
Beautiful...Excellent color choices :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Our department dinner was tonite....and no, I did not win the quilt back. But the winner was a very nice young woman who I know and like (even better!!), and I am very happy with who the winner is. I must admit that there was a lot of pre-drawing trash talking going on among some of the ladies..."if you win it, you better RUN to your car!!!" "If you win it, there'll be a fight in the parking lot!" LOL It was all in good fun, and there was no actual hair pulling, but several pouting faces after the drawing.
All in all, it was a great experience for me to do this quilt. And thank you all for your kind compliments. Janice |
That is absolutley beautiful...
Care to share the pattern? K |

Wonderful. You did a great job. I like quiet tones as much as the deeper richer ones. You MUST take a picture of the person who wins. I want to see his/her face.
|
That's a very polished, sophisticated-looking quilt! Beautiful!
|
That quilt is soooo beautiful. Going to have to look for tat magazine. I too think you should make another one - and then send it to me!
|
So sorry you didn't get to keep your quilt!!! But at least you know that it went to a nice home where it will be loved :D

To use my batiks, I used the pattern called Stepping Stones in American Patchwork and Quilting, October 2009. It measures about 33 x 24. It turned out well!
|
It lives up to its name :thumbup: :thumbup:
|
Gorgeous! Whoever ends up with it will love it!

Lovely.

Hope you all like it!!

Thanks, Sarah in CA[quote] If you google batik fabric you come up with a good list of sources. Also search eBay, looking for Hoffman, Kaufman or other good brand name batiks on the market. You'll find lots. Thanks for the compliment!!! It actually was given away in December....and the young woman who won it was thrilled. I was really happy for her. |
