Thanks to Eddie's tutorial, I finally tried this.

I'm planning for a 4x6 block wall hanging (right now it's 3x3) but I may make it bigger and make a quilt out of it...

It looks great. I am working on one also, but mine is machine and hand work.

Very nice!

Oooo I love those jewel toned batiks :D:D:D
Good Job :thumbup:

Looks great - I like the dark background.

Just Beautiful!!! Love how the colors pop out!!!

Beautiful!

I have one that my mom made about fifty years ago. We use it for the grandkids bed in our camper. I really should put it away since she died a few years back. I remember her saying "never again" while she was working on it. Yours is really pretty.

Great work!

OOOHHHH!!!! I like that! The black really makes things pop.

That is pretty. I have been planning one as well.... You've made me want to start mine!

Beautiful!

Oh, that is so pretty, I think I would go with a quilt.

Pretty

Very pretty! I love the colors

Wow, that looks great. So now I have a question for you since I haven't tried one of these - on a scale of 1 to 10 how hard is it to make. 1 being easy 10 difficult.

Honestly, it's really not diffucult at all. It's a little time consuming to prepare each block but not too bad. I'd say on your scale it's probably a 4... The most important thing is to make sure your bacground pieces (in my case, the navy blue fabric) is perfectly square before you start sewing it up and turning it inside out. If they're not perfect, it's more difficult to make all of your pices line up and it's hard to fudge them because they're like finished blocks - there's no batting and backing to add later.
If you're unsure, plan for a wall hanging size, my background pieces were 12" squares, which folds down to about 6". If you only make 9, 12, or 16 blocks, it makes a great wall hanging size. Then if you don't like doing it so much, you still will have tried the method, and if you do like it, you can cut out more pices and add to it. :)



And thanks to everyone for the comments :)

Love Batiks...Always wanted to try that patetrn

It is beautiful so far....anxious to see your completed project! I want to try this method, it looks like fun.

I love the way the colors pop against the dark fabric. Like the idea of doing enough for a wall hanging and then keep going for a quilt if I like doing the blocks. No matter which you do it is a winner. Well done and beautiful.

Love your colors, it almost looks like stained glass. Can't wait to see it finished. :lol:

This is better than nice. The color choices are wonderful.
