Those are just awesome. Mine will be in the mail shortly. There are going to be some absolutely gorgeous quilts made with blocks from this swap.

I even printed out pictures as the blocks were posted to try and get an idea of how the blocks would look together, especially since this is my first time with batiks. When I get my blocks, I think I will do the same thing - put them on my design board, take a picture and then decide how they want to go together. :-) I see things in pictures that I don't see when I have the block in front of me. Thanks again. Big hug.

For those who have experience with batiks, should I use these in something that will hold up well to washing, or are batiks mainly for admiring. Having never worked with them before, I'm not sure if I should use them in gifts where I know they will be loved AND used. The colors are amazing and I loved working with them, but am not sure how to use them now. I would appreciate your opinions. :-) Oh, another thing, after prewashing them with a "color catcher," is it necessary to use a a "color catcher" with every wash?
