This quilt began with receiving the batik fabric as a present. I pulled the three major colors of the batik. I didn't want to take away from the beautiful batik so I chose solids. The colors reminded me of the local beach and sea glass.
I started with 10" squares of the batik. I used a dinner plate as a template for the curved pieces. The curved pieces were hand appliqued to each side of the square. The squares were then machine sewed together. I added a 2" inside border and the 8" wide border. I used what little I had left of the batik for the binding.
Approximate size 65" square.
Hand quilted with matching thread.
This was enjoyable quilt to make. The different types of work (applique, piecing and quilting) keep me interested in the project.
This was one of the three quilts I offered to the Thornton Academy Annual Auction. My contact person picked a hand quilted baby quilt with vibrant-colored fish on an aqua sea background.
