Storm at Sea batiks
 
2 Attachment(s)
Thanks to all for input on keeping this quilt from bleeding. I did a test “rub” with a damp white towel, and all seemed good. I used a few color catchers with first wash, and I think all is well! Whew!

No pattern, traditionally pieced. Second quilt from batiks that I brought back from Maui a few years ago. I need to return to replenish my stash now! Go away, Covid! I had to make binding scrappy because I didn’t have enough of any fabrics for the entire binding.

My first time glue basting-used Elmers Washable and applied with carpenters paint roller bottle. Super easy, but I think I applied glue heavier than I needed to.

This quilt is for one of my DILs. She is an ER physician and lives several states away, so this will have to replace my hugs for now.

SAS is my favorite pattern and this is an awesome example of one! The batiks give it even more depth and movement. I’m sure your DIL is going to love it.

very lovely!

ladyinpurple135 08-13-2020 04:34 PM

Your colors are fabulous!!!! I love how they move from one to the next. Batiks are so great for being able to do that. I read recently thst batiks shouldn’t bleed as they go through several washings in the production. Batiks are my favorite fabrics (well, on the list of my fsvorites🤭😄😄).

Your color choices are perfect. What a lovely quilt that just calls out water in all of its colors. I also want to mention the brick walkway you chose to use for your photo. It is an interesting but neutral background to show off your work. Love outside photos of quilts. I hope you get to Maui for more beauties!

Jordan 08-14-2020 08:07 AM

Gorgeous quilt and I love the pattern and fabrics you used.

Every time your daughter snuggles in it, she will feel you hugging her! I find your color choices give it a lot of motion and interest. Great work!
