I started working on a scrappy quilt top using blue/grey/aqua batiks with a white/cream/grey scrappy background before we moved and this month I want to get the rest of the paper pieced triangle units finished and then get the top put together.
Right now, I have all of the four-patch units done and I have all of the square in a square units completed as well.
BUT I know that I still have at least 40 of the triangle units to make and I need to pull a few more fabrics in blues from my scrap bins to make sure that I don't run out!
I stopped by the local quilt shop yesterday to get a half yard of the off white dotty batik in the picture and I am definitely going to have to hit up some other semi-local quilt shops to get a wider variety of background fabrics so that it looks scrappy. I was hoping to get quarter yards of a half dozen or so different fabrics, but there was not much to choose from at that shop.
Linking up my goal to A Lovely Year of Finishes! Today is the last day for June to link up goals, so sort through that WIP pile and get one submitted!
how I love batiks, treated myself to a jelly roll yesterday, no definate plans of what to do with it yet have an idea but just looking at it makes me feel happy
ReplyDeleteI have been seriously thinking about a scrappy batik quilt myself, lately. Love your fabrics. Can't wait to see it finished!
