I LOVE IT!!! I LOVE Batiks. I have a bunch of batiks, but very little other stuff. It's always my first choice.

Thank you! All of you inspire me and I'd like to thank each and every one of you. You are all a part of anything I sew. Thanks for holding my hand! Keep doing it! :D

Whoa, that's fabulous! Chele, between your batiks and those gorgeous printed fabrics you use, I'm about to turn green with envy!

This is exactly what I like about this group. I’ve had dozens of thoughts as to how to use Batiks, but nothing at all along these lines; your use is absolutely fantastic. Very, very nice Chele, keep up the great work.

What made it heavy by the way?

I just love your colors! The batiks are so vibrant.

If washing and blocking doesn't get rid of your wavy borders, here is a tip that might help for next time. Before you sew your binding on, sew a 1/8-inch ribbon (like the kind you find in the craft or fabric store) down the edge of your quilt. Then add your binding as normal, which will completely hide this ribbon inside your binding. It helps support the edge and keeps it from waving. At least that's supposed to be how it works. I haven't tried this method and am just repeating what I learned at a demo at my local quilt guild. The gal who gave the demonstration places and wins lots of ribbons so I am assuming she knows what she is talking about. Hoep this helps!
