Batik Block Swap 12.5 - Signups thru 5-31-13 - Due 7-31-13
#32
I am so looking forward to this swap. I love seeing what other people do. Once I go over to the Fabric Fanatics I will share all about it. I hope to be going real soon. It is hard during the week as i work 10 hours days, dont get off work until 8 pm CST. So I will be planning it when I have one of my days off here in the near future. I am going to ask my son to get me a gift certificate from there for my birthday and mothers day. Will see what happens there.

Last batik swap 10 1/2" blocks
tracibug asked me if I would post a picture of the quilt I made from the last batik swap. Sorry it's not quilted yet to show you, I've had a pinched nerve in my back so pinning a quilt on the long-arm table was not an option. Looking at the pic I'm sure you will get an idea of what you can do with the blocks when they come back to you.[ATTACH=CONFIG]408481[/ATTACH]

I washed them last night in the washing machine in cold water on delicate, I used Woolite and Downy. They still look as pretty as they did when I bought them. I did run them thru a cold rinse before I washed them though. Thanks for you answers.

Made my first block came out so pretty, then I measured it and am so so frustrated, it came out at 12 1/4 instead of 12 1/2. Am going to go back and measure all the seams to see what I did wrong. I am doing the Hunter Star and followed the directions exactly. So frustrating.
