Finished top and other things............


The mottled batik 16 patch quilt top has been pressed and photographed.  It is 56.5" x 72".  I considered adding a border but changed my mind as I like it just like it is.

I found a large enough  piece of mottled batik for backing that is a mossy green with red-purple splotches. 


While looking through my batik yardage I found a piece large enough for the back of the pastel batik 16 patch.







I sewed side borders on the piece I showed a few days ago.  I cut and pressed the backing fabric and pieced some batting and trimmed it to size.










Here is a close up of some of the fabrics.  This type was very popular in the early 1990s.






Here are some from the opposite edge.








My friend Anne of the Agilejack blog and I did a little trade of fabric and she included these 2 key fobs in my package.  I don't like fiddling with hardware on projects so I was so happy to get these.  Aren't they pretty?  She also makes pouches, tote bags and quilts so check out her blog.


For those of you who use Blogger who haven't figured out how to get rid of the big space at the bottom of your post, just scroll to the bottom and put your curser there and then hit backspace until your curser is right under your last entry of photo or words.  This post would have had a 3" blank area on the bottom if I didn't do that.

Happy Easter to all that celebrate it.
