And aren't they just drop dead gorgeous? :D We've been buzzing here on the QB this week about them, and I ordered these this past weekend, half yard cuts of each. They have a nice feel to them and the colors and patterns are just spectacular (the pic doesn't do them justice). I was concentrating on the blues, greens, reds, and purples, but I can tell now that I've seen them that I'm going to HAVE to go back for more. Love them!!!

Eddie,
Your fabrics are beautiful!!! Seeing them makes me want to order from CT's again!! Although I did not order fabric from CT, I did send in an email order on Monday and it got here today!!!! I only ordered thread, a ruler and a pattern. They are so fast with delivery I will surely order again. Thanks for sharing your fabrics. I hope you share what ever you make with them also.
Susan

My deliveries from them are always slow but I like them anyway. :0)

Can't wait to find out how well the batiks stand up to washing.

cjtinkle 08-19-2010 01:49 PM

I'm happy to hear that you like the fabrics. I only ordered fabric from CT once, a few years ago, and it didn't look anything at all like the pictured product on their website, but your batiks look fabulous!

I would love to know if they run or not when you wash them?

katier825 08-19-2010 01:57 PM

Those are great!

IBQUILTIN 08-19-2010 02:02 PM

Delicious. I want some too. I'm trying to get at least a half yard of every color I can. Yellows and pastels are hard to come by

sueisallaboutquilts 08-19-2010 02:07 PM

Eddie, could you please save some for me??? hee hee
They are wonderful- I need to make another order from them. It will be my third this month lol

wvdek 08-19-2010 02:10 PM

Can't wait to see what you make with them. What pattern have you chosen and who for?

Eddie 08-19-2010 02:12 PM

I plan on doing a quilt design by Deb Karasik (paper pieced) using batiks. It's called "Napa Valley at Sunset". I plan to change the background color, though. Here's a link to a pic of the quilt:

I love your avatar! Did you make a whole quilt with that block? Do you have a picture you can post of it, if you did? I like how you matched the colors.

Jim's Gem 08-19-2010 03:02 PM

They are beautiful!!! I just got my catalog yesterday and was drooling over those!!!

Tink's Mom 08-19-2010 03:45 PM

I've been drooling over those batiks in the catalog all week...I guess I'll just have to break down and order again.

Wow - that will be one gorgeous quilt when you're done!
I have ordered kits from CT and have never been disappointed in their service and the quality of the kits.

Pineapple Princess 08-19-2010 08:52 PM

Oooo! Pretty! :D

Rainy Day 08-19-2010 08:56 PM

*sigh* they don't ship to Australia, Eddie, but you could send the quilt down here! Will swap for some of these:
