It was too wet to mow the grass because of rain in the morning yesterday so I had the whole day to work on my projects. This photo is 32 double 4 patch blocks, 4 each of 8 fabric combinations.
I continued on the batik rectangle colorwash. I got this far by noon yesterday.
I had two afternoon sessions on it. This was the first one.
I'm really liking your colour wash with the rectangles Wanda. I'd been toying with making a table runner of batiks with strips rather than squares and seeing your work is just re-enforcing the idea. Lovely.
I love the color wash! I'm not sure I've ever really seen - or at least not paid attention to - a color wash made exclusively with batiks, as opposed to prints. I have to say this appeals to me in a whole different way. I'm so excited to see how it turns out. With regard to the double 4-patches, I may be a little dense, but do you have two layers of blocks in the picture, so we actually see only half of the blocks? I hope so, because all I count is 16 blocks, and you say there are 32!
Your progress makes me jealous. No sewing time here. Chris

ReplyDeleteI love the colorwash progression. I always enjoy seeing how you work it out.
ReplyDeleteYour colorwash is beautiful using those fabrics. I'm glad you finally had a play day.
ReplyDeleteMy breath caught when I saw that first picture, it is going to be another Wandalicious quilt.
ReplyDeleteThis latest piece is mouth-watering! Conjures up high summer days.
ReplyDeleteI love photos such as these that show your progress. They are very interesting and helpful!
