Yes, I did the "new phone book" dance (see the Facebook post if you are lost at this point......) when the first package arrived from Island Batiks. Woohoo! Just look at all these luscious fabrics!
And you've got a first hand look at the working title - Blowing in the Wind. I THINK this is what I'm going with...but we'll see....who knows, once it gets started.
So what are these luscious fabrics going to create? Ah....I can't show you.....yet! But....I can show you just a snippet.
Ok....so have the general idea?? Yep, squares (big surprise, huh?).
No, but really - two luscious tealy blues (ah, ocean water, right?) place nicely together as a mixed background, showcasing those wonderful brights. So I've got squares to cut....but more pics to come soon. Promise!
Oh - and just had an inspiration. Maybe you can give input on the name! Hmmm....maybe we can do some kind of "name the quilt" competition. What do you think? Are you in?
Give me feedback (please) and if there's interest, we can get it started as I post the growth status (wow, takes me back to when my kids were little!) of the quilt.
In the interim, since I'm finishing up another quilt right now, what's your favorite thing about batiks? I know we all LOVE Island Batiks - they have such terrific, rich colors and fabulous fun prints. I know what I love about batiks- so what do you love? And thinking about it, many of my favorite quilts are batik quilts. So share - about what you love about batiks AND if you want a "name the quilt" competition. And let's watch this quilt grow!
I look forward to hearing from y'all! Check back soon - and Happy stitching!
