Perhaps 8 months ago, maybe less, it seems like years, I posted a request for a pattern for a quilt of batiks I'd seen. Some dear person posted the pattern, I tackled the quilt and my intentions were to begin to explore machine quilting free motion and using various styles. In the meantime, the machine I purchased for that very purpose has created so many headaches that I'm getting rid of it, and I pulled out my little faithful Bernina mechanical and finished the quilt in August. My friend Lyn did the rolled binding for me (thanks Lyn - I love you!) and I've got both the original inspirational picture as well as pics of the finished result at my webshots album :big batik blocks
finally finished
Absolutely beautiful! I really do like batiks, but have never decided what I would like to do with them - this is truly inspirational! Great work!
Cindy, I LOVE it! What glorious colors and a great way to showcase those wonderful batiks! I also like your MQing- very, very much! It looks like you had fun and learned a lot. Sorry about your sm- that's got to be awful.
