Batik Large Block Quilt

Whew! What a busy first quarter of the year! I can’t believe we are already into late March. I wanted to share the first finish of 2014 with ya’ll…The Batik Large Block Quilt. Another lovely baby quilt for a special little addition to the extended family. The nursery was decorated in lavender with yellow pops of color. I know mama has an affinity for Batiks, so I dug into my stash to try to find something suitable. When I had the fabrics picked out, I took a gander at this book which I just added to my shelf:

I was itching to try out this pattern and I thought the colors would look great.

So pretty, right! Here is my version in batiks…

I chose to add sashing to my blocks to make the quilt a bit bigger. This also cut down on bulk in the seams. This was a really fun block to make. And the color combinations are limitless.

I quilted 1/8 inch from each side of all the seams. I had to press all the seams open, so quilting this way gives me piece of mind that the quilt isn’t going to unravel anywhere. Probably overkill, but it makes me feel better. Here’s the back:

I made a pieced back using almost all my leftover fabric. I think I ended up with a couple scraps left over…no yardage whatsoever. Winning!

This was also the first quilt to receive my new Quilt Tags. Nothing fancy, but it sure feels great to see it on a finished quilt!

It is shaping up to be a busy, busy year.
