I started this adventure because I saw a quilt published in the back of Quiltmaker Magazine. It was just the quilters use of three of the plates to Quiltmaker 100 Blocks. I thought it was a challenging design since no pattern was given...just the individual block details by three different creators. An additional incentive was that I had overflowing bins of batik scraps and some batik yardage I wanted to use. So, off I went. Block 1 was no problem. I like it. Block 2 was a challenge and block 3 was awful since it was way beyond my skills. Here it is as a WIP. It's put together as a top now and being sent off to a long armer. All I can say is, what was I thinking?
I ran out of the original Batik background and had to improvise. Block 2 and block 3 had MANY pieces and points in each 12.5" block. We'll see how the long arm quilter deals with all the bias in the on point block settings. It was a challenge for me that I didn't fully appreciate when I began the project. Hopeful for a happy ending....
