I'm crazy about batiks and your wall hanging is just stunning. Love those bright colors!

A woman after my own heart, embellish those "mistakes". Absolutely beautiful.

That is absolutely beautiful. What pretty batiks and the hearts set it off perfectly.

Thanks girls! I have another one planned where the strips are arranged to form a heart and a third to make a spider's web. And I'm trying to figure out a way to NOT have to hand sew the strips on the back - have ideas, will post if it works! ;) :D

Kathryn, I was thinking that you could sew the strips on the back with a cute fancy stitch on your machine then I remembered...you are doing this QAYG aren't you? Is so...then I dunno.....

Yup - I got some of that seam sticking stuff - Wundaweb in the UK. I'm going to try attaching bias strips to the back a shade wider than the sashing on the front then SITD round the sashing to catch the edges down? Will it work? Dunno! I saw a version where the strips on the back were machined down which showed a double line of stitches on the sashing on the front but I didn't like the look of that. Keep ya posted! :-D

Just saw this, K! wow! It's fantasticalicious!
I am one of those batik/bright converts too.
I have grown to love a lot of things I used to pass over, and so will a lot of ppl when they see this :wink:

I love batiks and your wall hanging looks stunning. Love the idea of hanging corners on the back.

Thanks Mousie and Deecee. I've just done another one using this same QAYG technique but with NO HAND SEWING! It worked! Yaaaayyy! Will post later with all the details! :-D
