treat from retreat

so this is the finished batik top made from scraps from a pineapple blossom quilt made last year.  i think it looks like a kaleidoscope with all the angular bright colors.  now to pull out the papers and get it basted.  wish i could say i used up all the scraps in that bag but not quite.  it'll just be saved for when there are more batik scraps.  might make a series of them as the quantity of scraps permit.  and to think there was a time when i wasn't enamored with batik fabrics....go figure! now, however, i am a true believer.  **** hoping all those affected by sandy will get back to normal soon.  judging from the images on TV, it could be a while.

  1. Aren't the news stories heart-wrenching?
    Great description of this little beauty. I, too, used to wonder at all the fuss over batiks. I have seen the light!
