Bright colorwash kits

I consider these starter kits which could have some of your own stash cut and added to them. Below are some of the pieces I have made from similar groupings plus a test with these actual squares.

This one is the test designed with this actual kit. Below are 2 made with similar fabrics. Both square ones are made with 196 pieces. The rectangular piece is made with 520 pieces. In the previous post see photos of all 3 kinds of kits.

Batik Colorwash

Instead of showing the batik kits as fabrics lined up on a tray, I'm showing them as a mock up of what a colorwash might look like if it was made from just the kit with no additions from your own stash. There are 200 squares 2.5"

Blue and purple batik squares

All of the batik fabrics have been pre-washed in pure soap. There are 2 of each fabric in both groups. They were purchased over an 18 year time period so there are some that you may never have seen before. SOLD 10/15/11

Hand dyed quilt top

This is a quilt top 36.5" square. The fabric was dyed by Melody Johnson in the mid 1990's.

SOLD 1/27/10

2.5" strips

I have cut 41 strips of floral print fabrics, 2.5" wide. I have cut with a straight rotary cutter, not with the pinking blade that the jelly rolls use. I have 2 different kits available, 41 different fabrics in each kit. My price is $26 plus shipping (in comparison: A jelly roll is 40 fabrics and jelly rolls are $30-35) All of the fabrics in my kits are discontinued, no longer available prints. I did cut the selvage with words off before I cut the strips so they average 43.5" wide.

Group # 1 has cream color backgrounds in the lightest prints. All sold, sorry 2/16/09.

Group #2 has white backgrounds in the lightest prints and a little bit brighter colors in all of the fabrics. Sorry these are all sold. 1:52 p.m 1/21/09

Purple and Coral wallhanging

this piece is 31" x 24.75" and is made from all of the leftover bits from another larger quilt. I had fun fitting them altogether with a piece of Dutch Wax Batik with a bird on it as a focal point.

I machine quilted it in the ditch and then added double needle quilting as an accent.

This is the backing fabric and it shows what the double needle stitching looks like on the back (zigzag). The binding is hand finished.

SOLD 4/5/11

Lap size quilt

This quilt is considered a throw, or couch quilt. It is approximately 64" x 76" and is made of batik fabrics. It has been washed to make it super soft and cuddly.

SOLD 9/22/11
