Batik Fabric Swap Project Completed
At our meeting in November, we each brought one yard of batik fabric. We took our yard of batik fabric and folded it in half, then snipped the edge and ripped it into two pieces. The piece in my left hand, I got to keep. The piece in my right hand I gave to the quilter to my right. The quilter on my left, gave me half of the piece she had ripped. Then we each took the piece we received from the left and ripped it in half and passed half of it to our right. We did this seven times. We each took our pieces of fabrics home to make something and bring it in to show at our February meeting. It was quite fun. Many interesting projects were presented, several tote bags, organizers, table runners, etc. I made a wall hanging using the hexagon technique I saw in Material Obsession 2. Dimensions: 22.5" X 24.5"
I used up every bit of the 'tadpole' fabric, the gold fabric, and the grayish blue fabric, with just scraps of the blue/red left over. I used the rest of the gold fabric and grayish blue on the back of the wall hanging. I also used a couple odd scraps from my stash on the back. I stitched in the ditch and stitched across the grayish blue, between the dark parts, so you cannot see the stitching. The binding is not a batik, but black with green dots from my stash. It turned out pretty good for an experiment!
