BATIK BEAUTIES

I am in a Batik swap with the Popular Patchwork girls on the Forum. We had to send twelve 10" square of a Batik fabric to Katy. 16 ladies joined this swap. Katy then had to mix them into 16 sets of twelve fabrics, we each got our own back, plus the next eleven in the set. Very good and straight forward plan Katy. Here are ALL the squares Katy received, in their piles of twelve, in order for picking sets.


1st row..........................Kim...........Kerstin........Dusie..........Helen
2nd row........................Caz............Tessa...........Janet..........Katy
3rd row........................Ang............Alison..........Ros.............Margaret
4th row........................Maggie......Trudi............Annette......Fiona

As I am Janet, you can work out which ones I got from the chart and the picture. They are gorgeous aren't they? All we have to do now, is make a quilt with them! We are allowed to add as much or as little to these as we wish, WE MUST use at least a small piece of each fabric received, so the girls can say, OH look that was mine. Great isn't it. I have a plan of what to make, just need some background and border fabric then I shall be ready.

ALSO;

I have changed my mind about the Singing Garden Quilt fabrics, hubby came up with a great idea of what to make it in, so I sorted all the fabrics out yesterday, washed them all today, tomorrow they will get ironed/pressed; then the fun will begin. This is a wonderful Quilt by Babs, on the Popular Patchwork site AND in the magazine, in case you aren't a member....yet!

Hi Babs,
OOPS! Sorry me dear. It is because you have made several versions of the SINGING GARDEN QUILT, senior moment again!!!!



Hi Phyllis,
they are gorgeous in real life. I have an idea, just need to get all the fabrics together before I start. Besides, I want to start my version of BABS SINGING GARDEN QUILT first.
