Pieced Batik Quilt with Orange Border

Years and years ago I made these batik quilt blocks. I remember batik fabrics were stacked up and then I cut then with the rotary cutter into several angles. A stack and slice technique. Then I took a piece of fabric from each stack and arranged the block and sewed the blocks together, so all the blocks had one of each fabric in the block, but each was a different shape. The blocks were set next to each other, turning the blocks in different directions. The result was nice like a crazy quilt without the embroidery stitches. But the piece was rather small, so I put it away for many years, not sure what I would do with it. I took it out recently and thought I should finish this, so I cut a border to make the quilt wider and longer and then quilted it with a serpentine stitch. The border really made this quilt look great and it is large enough for a child to cuddle under. I will donate this quilt to Wrap the World with Quilts.

Quilt measures 34.5 " x 44.5".

King Size Mondrian Quilt Top

I pieced this king size quilt top in a couple of days, but probably won't get around to quilting it for a while. I have to be in the right mood to tackle something this large under my sewing machine. I used turquoise, green, aqua, blue and purple batiks that I already had. Some of the batiks I used I found in my scrap bag, but most were fat quarters and half yards that I already had. I made this quilt in a queen size a few years ago for my son, but only used scraps for his quilt in any color batik I had. You can see his quilt here. This quilt is called Mondrian and it was in a book that I borrowed years ago from the library and I cannot recall the title or the authors of the book. The library doesn't have this book anymore. I am sure it must be out of print by now too. I hope to have this quilted and on my bed by next winter.

I bought 2 queen-sized wool battings about 10-12 years ago and I guess I was waiting for the right quilt to make to use it. I decided that batting finally needed to be used, so I made the quilt top, then had to piece the batting together to make it large enough. I found a perfect 108" wide backing fabric online in flannel and I don't need to piece that, yay! This flannel backing is from Fabric.com:

The color in person looks more like minty green though, but it still goes nicely with my quilt top, since I have various shades of green, turquoise, aqua, blues and purples in my quilt top.

Batik Quilt For My Son

I finished the quilting and binding on this quilt that I made for my son. The brown backing fabric is also batik. I bought the brown batik fabric years ago on clearance at such a great price I bought the rest of the bolt. I made several things with this fabric and now except for a few scrap strips left from trimming the edges, after I quilted the quilt, I finally used all the brown batik up!

Vegetable and Fruit Garden Quilt

I started this quilt about 2 years ago and finally finished it in Feb. 2009. It is paper-pieced. I used batiks and handyed fabrics on nearly all of it.

Being a vegan, I really wanted to make a garden quilt.
