Design Wall Monday 6/24/12

It has been awhile, but I'm finally back on track -- whatever that may be!  I've been working on quilting some great quilts for friends, and shop hopping -- more on that later! 


I have a great collection of batiks, but I had no idea how great it was until I started pulling them for an autumn quilt.  For the pattern I'm using, I'm going to make about 100 6" leaf blocks that will have log cabin-like sashing added on two sides.  When I counted how much fabric I had in autumn colors, I found I had enough that every block could be a different batik.  YIKES!!  Not all the pieces are yardage, many are small pieces left from other projects, but enough to make a block.  I've decided not to make every block different, however, because I just love some fabrics more than others.  Here's what I have so far....




Nice, right?  I just hope I don't do as I frequently do, and get distracted by another project.  I'd love to have this on the bed by the time leaves begin to change color around here!

    Lovely to see you - I love the leaf blocks in Batiks and it should be a wonderful quilt.
