The only thing I can see in the blocks you posted is in the 2nd one, you used a flowery print instead of a solidy-looking fabric. Otherwise, they look good to me. Love your black & white's and white & blacks! Jane |
fabulous orange and yellow/black and white block there wannabquilter! I like that color combination.
|
Thank You, MaryMo.

Since Batiks seem to be the overwhelming choice, here is the second part of the vote. Please vote for:
* 2 different colors per block * 1 batik paired with solid black * 1 batik paired with solid white Thanks! Jane |
Ooh - jclinganrey you are making it a tough choice.....I will vote for 1 batik with black
but I do like the 2 different choice also. |

One batik with black sounds good.
|
One batik with black for me too.
|
If anyone is interested... batiks 30% off now at [http://www.craftsy.com/supplies/bati...tialPage=true]
|
I initially thought 2 batiks with black but after auditioning some batiks I am in favor of 1 batik with black. Thanks Jane for giving us input in this decision.

I would suggest black with batiks as it tends to make the colors really pop |
I have been watching this thread, debating with myself if I should join in the fun. These blocks will make great quilts! Found a link I thought I would share for more inspiration. Check it out www.northwestquilters.org/bom.html
|
Dottie dodge - thanks for the link. Lots of pretties there!
|
Booklady and Dottie Dodge - - we would love to have you come play with us. The December black/white/brights is still open! I'll post the January swap 12/20 and it's going to be BATIKS!! Lots of excitement about that one.
Great link, by the way. It's good to know 'like minds think alike'. LOL I have some very similar plans for February. Jane |
Awesome for the batiks.....one question....solid black or a black batik?
|
Cindy somewhere it was said Kona or Moda solid black
|
Do we get back one of our own blocks? Or should we make an extra one for us to keep?
|
Make an extra for yourself. I'd already asked this question too:thumbup:
|
I'm such a visual person, so since I've never made this particular block before I looked at wannaquilter's & jaba's beautiful blocks to see if I switched them correctly. The placement on their blocks is not the same, so which is right? Or does it even matter? Thanks for setting me straight!

Dec. swap Brights fabric question
2 Attachment(s)
Ok -- I have a question about the 'brights' for the December swap. I was thinking the brights are really bright and not pastels or prints (except very small prints.)
Attached are the choices I'm using... no pastels or large prints on the bright fabrics. Are these good? Please clarify? |
Yes, brights, not pastels. I'll leave it to the group to decide about the small prints.
Jane |
Stitch124, I think your brights read as solids-- which seemed to be the goal. They look similar to the example Jane posted at the beginning of this thread (post #2) and would blend well there with those blocks. Maybe not your red fabric so much as the others. I like your black on white choices and the 2 white on black choices that are on the bottom of the stack! Your blocks are going to look great! :-)
|
I agree with givio - those are wonderful colors
|
Maybe I need to change some of mine also to more bright. Let me know I can make some more blocks. I'm just a "matchy" person. I went from light to dark. Tell me which ones to change ladies.
|
I like your light to dark blocks Jaba!
|
Jaba, I like yours just the way they are.
|
Thank you ladies, but rules are rules and I really didn't even think brights to brights. Like I say I am a "matchy" type person and quilter and etc.... Jane please tell me if these need to be changed, I can do that.
|
I know what you mean Jaba. I am like that myself and sometimes it is a pain in the butt when you "just have to" change or re-do things. :D
