I don’t think I’ve ever had my blocks made so early in the month.  But I needed a break from my current quilt, so here they are.  9 curved rails (that yellow corner is bent under – the block is actually square).  I didn’t think at first that I would be able to find enough batiks in my stash, but with some creative cutting (and one case of creative fabric matching), I was able to make my blocks out of some...

Hello Vivi, my Violets are in the mail for you.Happy stitching, hugsBéatrice Please, Sophie : note I donate my batik blocks this month.

I have no idea where August went- I thought I’d have time to finally make some violet blocks, and then I realized it’s September 2! So here are my three batik liberated rail fence blocks, made with the only three batiks of which I had large enough pieces.These were...

Here are my first 3 blocks for this month, using the only 3 batiks I have at the moment.  I will try to get some more this week but not too hopeful here in Oman. Enjoyed making them once I had read the instructions properly!I will donate these this...

Here’s my first three I completed for the virtual quilt. I was really surprised how easily they came together. I did use a bunch of pins though instead of trying to hold it together as I sewed. I’m going to donate these this month. Take care! Nancy...

is the one not asked, right? So what, exactly, makes a fabric a “batik”? After you announced a couple of months back that for Sept. we needed batiks I ordered a FQ bundle of “Indian Batiks” from someplace. Problem is they are all blue or pink and very similar (2 are actually the same fabric) After looking at the fabrics some of you have already posted I know I have some fabrics in my stash that appear to be batiks, but...

Well I think I was last to post some pictures before the deadline in August as I finished my last blocks on 31 so I decided to be better this month and make my blocks earlier. I am very proud to report that I had already finished my 9 blocks on 1st September. A first for me! Here are my 9: The blocks go together very quickly, specially as 3 are made at a time. They were fun to make and I love the look of them with the batik fabrics. It looks...

This morning, I heard from the last two winners (good news) and so tonight I was able to finish up the mailing info and send it to everyone  (more good news). If you made Violet blocks, you should have email from me.  If not, let me know and I’ll try again–please check your spam folder and make sure it’s not hiding there.  When you send email to sixty-some quilters, it begins to looks like spam to some email...

Here are the 6 I did for the sneak peak. There are also three more that I did, I’ll post those when I get a...
