Izy; I love your new scrappy, and I especially like your green binding, it really makes it pop. Thank you for sharing.

thanks kwiltkrazy, the colours are a LOT brighter in real life, and the green/blue bright border is the same fabric as the Jacob's Ladder quilt binding as I will use them together

Hey there, everyone, sorry, but I put the wrong message number I am trying to ask about in my subject line. The Batik Quilt Message I am asking about that was made by JIGS is the quilt in the photo in message 1040. I would love to make it and am wondering what the pattern name or book it came from is. Anyone know?

Hi Joanne,
Yes I made that Batik scrappy throw. I just loved it and so simple to make. I will dig up the pattern for you and very happy to send you a copy. I don't remember if it's in a book or just a page. I will go look for it now and PM you when I find it. It was one I taught and she was a new quilter at the time. Hers was just as pretty as mine.
Going to look now.

Hi Izy, where did you find the sham you made. Love that. I need to find the pattern.
Your sham is just beautiful.
Also what kind of sewing machine are you using in the photo? It does pretty good on your quilting.
Thanks for posting the beautiful things your are making. Beautiful colors too.

I made up the pillow sham tops, layered them up with double layer of poly wadding to give a bit more loft and stiffness. I made envelope backs, just basically overlapping two pieces right sides out, stitched all around, then added binding to finish. I quilted one HST/4 patch width from the outside edge to create an 'Oxford' style of pillow sham. I have a Janome 9000, not much throat space but I have managed to quilt over 90 x 90 quilts through there phew!
