Easy Modern Batik Quilt
This is one way to break up your stash. My batiks were overflowing with fat quarters, and I personally wanted a pink quilt. I started it a year ago (or more), and finished it last month in mid-August. No real pattern involved, just modeled after similar quilts I'd seen, and drawn up myself.
What I love most about it besides being pink? I think it's beautiful the way the batiks appear wavy with their color variations. Also, the batting is Mountain Mist Cream Rose, and very thin. It's a perfect weight summer quilt for my side of the bed.
The quilting design has a bit of a lotus flower in it, and while it blends nicely on the top in a variegated thread, it pops on the back with a solid bobbin thread.
The binding is a soft framing of a coral pink, and almost appears orange next to the purple Grunge.
Done and dusted, as they say.
Come on, Doxie girls.
Let's go sew.
