Same here, both could be used for different ideas. Beautiful colors though.

I really like the unwhacked ones the best. Because I'm not familiar with the technique, forgive me, but it seems like the whacked ones the centers are off or is that part of the charm?

The batiks are gorgeous. :D

Yes, the centers are off. Can't quite figure out how I whacked them both exactly the same off center way, but I did. My DD says she likes them, I wish I could undo the whacking.

I like the unwhacked better. I wonder if you would have better luck with the outside strips if you sewed them on the log cabin way - going around the block. Then you would have one seam per side, not two. Just a thought. the batiks are stunning.
