Slowing down now

Wox!! What a gorgeous collection!

Kathy, you have the most beautiful fabric I've ever seen. And you've put it to incredibly beautiful use. I just got my QNM yesterday and there was your quilt that you'd been posting about. Wowsers. Clearly you have learned the technique and perfected it. I can't wait to see how you arrange those beautiful blocks.

Ah shucks Sunny. Now I feel pressure to really make it sing! :-) Thanks for the encouragement!

And that's probably less than half the number of batiks I have stashed...a lot less. It's a disease.

got any settings in mind yet? how'd they look on point? silly i'm sure but just popped into my head. a bit wavy, a row to the left, a row to the right etc. offset rows or columns? sashed in rows/columns? hmmmmm still thunk'n. play'n with diff layouts is such fun. they all look marvelous but then you knew that, lol. congrats for learning a new technique so proficiently. gives me hope, jeanne

Absolutely smashing! You're a circle-making fool at 6 minutes each!

The fool part might be right!!!

You know I meant that in the very best way!

Wow, you did go on a binge, didn't you? Those look great - even better than the quilt in QNM!

Gorgeous, Kathyl!! (and I'll come help you clean up the batiks, for a "fee".

Sure! C'mon over! I'll share! I just found part of the pile that was "hidden" and had some other fabrics I might like to use. So I'm not done making blocks yet. Oh my. I think I'll refold all this when I'm done. I read someplace about how to fold fabric around a 6"x12" ruler so it stacks well. I might try that technique. My current folding and storing isn't cutting it.

They may be in no order, Kathyl, but they're sure gorgeous! I can't wait to see the quilt. :)

That's going to be a stunner.

They are absolutely gorgeous! What did you use to get the oval shape? Enquiring minds!

Love it! Some of them look like thumbprints :-) Roberta in D

They're just yummy, Kathyl -- kinda like jelly beans. And they don't have to be in any order. Batiks just go together, no matter what the colors are.

Thanks! There was a pattern for the oval in the magazine Estelle. I traced that to use on my freezer paper templates.

Thanks Maureen. I made a few more blocks last night, but it was too late to sew them. I had a procedure today and am now told not to drive or even operate kitchen appliances...so I'm assuming my sewing machine is included. I'd probably sew through my finger....still a bit groggy. But I AM going to milk it to keep from cooking dinner tonight!

You're right, they do!!
