Sue's 2nd Batik Quilt

I think this quilt is made using the same blocks as this one. The arrangement is just different. As I was quilting it, I thought it looked a bit jumbled. Being a graphic designer, I like everything neat and aligned, but now that it's finished and I see the whole thing, I rather like it.

I used Lava Tiki thread and love how it looks. I don't use much Lave, but a friend used some on a quilt and showed a picture on Facebook the other day. It was a light bulb moment for me as I had just loaded this quilt.


She provided the batting and the panto is Whirligig. Some more close-ups of the thread:

    I taught this class once. You make several blocks, then play with them to come up with a quilt that uses all or most of them. It really is fun to do. I have a book that details how to do it. Mine features cowboy faces in the plain blocks and horseshoes, brands, lassos, bandanas, etc. in the other fabrics.
