| Blue Batik Quilt |
Anne’s beautiful blue batik quilt was made as a wedding gift
for her niece. We decided that the Drip
pantograph from Beany Girl Quilts would be a nice quilting design for this blue
quilt.

Batik is a cloth that is traditionally made using a manual
wax-resist dyeing technique and I find when working with batiks that I often still
smell the wax. Traditional batik colours
include indigo, dark brown, and white.
To be surrounded by beautiful things has much influence
upon the human creature: to make
beautiful things has more. ~ Charlotte Perkins Gilman
I just got that pattern and the fabric to make it up - it's for a wedding present too! My colors are more earth toned - gold, black, blue and green. I love this pattern and look forward to piecing it. Your quilting choice is great - gives me inspiration. Bev
ReplyDeleteThanks Bev, I am enjoying the beautiful quilting and pictures on your blog and I still intend to do a blog post on the Liebster (and other) nominations. I have to work at keeping up with my blogging.
