Here's a pic of some strip sets I've been sewing together from these CT batiks. They sew beautifully and have very little fraying to them. All in all, very pleased with them! :D

Hi Eddie,

Those strip sets are looking really sharp! Great news from you, too on the little fraying. Did you wash and dry them before using them? If so, did you use any additive like Retayne to help keep their color? I know very little about working with batiks. I did notice that the CT site suggested a cool wash and low on the dryer.

The batiks and blenders that I ordered were a bit darker or lighter than their website showed them - I seem to remember you mentioning this, too. Still, like you, I am really pleased with them, but haven't laundered them yet. I have half and full yard cuts.

Happy stitchin',

Karla

Wow -- beautiful fabric! Can't wait to see what the quilt will look like with all those gorgeous strips :D

Boy those are really beautiful. Can't wait to see what you do with these.

Mine should be here tomorrow. I'm really excited!!
Eddie, your pic is beautiful!! :D
