Batik quilt-Newbie
 
Hi all;

I am new to quilting and to your forum and I am really enjoying it and learning a lot. My MIL introduced me to it and gave me a lot of advices as I am pretty much clueless..

This is my last quilt done for my Mom. Pieced by hand and hand quilted, approx 70*70.

I was worried about the colors but I think that they turned up fine. I think that the orange really brought them back together.

Details are no so pretty when you look closer. :o

Hope that you will enjoy it too.

I saw a similar pattern with earth tone batik colors which was so pretty that I had to try to copy..

Very happy to be meet you all and now back looking at pictures of your wonderful quilts!!!

Thank you all

The first time that I saw the pattern was on this website
http://greensandjeans.com/2011/07/23...wedding-quilt/

I really loved her quilt and kept coming back.

The Lady used the following pattern:

I used a similar pattern but changed the quilting

My Mom loves modern art and I thought that this quilt pattern had a modern look to it.

I have attached a detail of the blocks[ATTACH=CONFIG]466286[/ATTACH]
