I have been working on my batik quilt on and off for about 18 months and it is finally finished which is good as I got a bit sick of it. The uses only Batik fabrics or WOW for the backgrounds and sashing etc. There are 100 blocks 6' finished - mainly from the splendid sampler 2 book but some from splendid sampler 1.
Things I have learnt-
1) I HATE quilting anything this big (the photo shows it spread out on our super king bed - its destination is the double bed).
2) I will never again piece the back with vertical strips. I had some gorgeous grey batik (that ai used for the binding) but not enough to do the whole back so I did width of fabric down the middle with WOW either side. In itself it looks lovely but you can see that I havent lined up all the layers perfectly square and/or the quilting has shifted it as they run at an angle.
3) I dont really have the patience for big projects.... they end up annoying me haha.
I've included a couple of pics of some of the blocks as well
