Just beautiful. Did you do that from a jelly roll? I bought a batik jelly roll of 50 strips for $12 on sale. Maybe I should use it and do one like yours, I like it so well.

yes it was done with a Bali Pop jelly roll. I can't remember which one though. Actually it's one jelly roll for the center and a partial one for the border.

I love it. I have been wanting to get a Bali Pop, but wasn't sure how I would use it. Now I have an idea. I love batiks.

I love it. I will have to show the hubby.

I was born in Cook MN. Ever heard of it? HUGE town. Lol. When I was a kid, a sign on one end of town said population 847 and the other side of town said 600 for the longest time. :)

Yes I have heard of Cook ... it's way up north near the border isn't it? I've never been there though. I'm living in Grand Marais now...grew up in North Branch.

I really like this, the pattern, colors and the quilting. Good job.
It reminds me of a throw rug.

It's quite nice. Like the colors.

goodluna 08-07-2010 03:18 AM

I love batiks too. I have one waiting to be quilted, Do you have trouble with the thread breaking, when quilting.? I read that it is hard to quilt.

Do you like the border? Thanks. I didn't really like it....I thought it was too busy (?). In my mind it thought it would be great but when I actually got it on I didn't like it. It does look better in the picture.

I like the border. The more I look at the quilt the more I like about it.

Cutting the ends of the strips on an angle is a striking idea. The quilt looks great.
