I have not used batik fabric in quite some time on a project and I've been playing with several combinations of batiks I have in my stash. I am loving them in the Blogger Girl's Block of the Month and will have to find another project for batiks this summer when this BOM is done.
I am all caught up now, and there are only two more months to go. Here's month 4:
This was quite a challenge because I do not have the rulers used in the instructions. It's been kind of fun to figure out what is really going on. In my first rendition, I had two of the sections in the center portion of the block off-center which really threw the pattern off. Fixing that was also a challenge and I'm pleased with the result. Troubleshooting is getting a little easier, and I'm not as apt to accept a poorly sewn block now as I once was!
Here's the 4 blocks together - I think they will work great with the final 2 blocks to come in a wall hanging for my bedroom. One thing I like about them so far is that they will all work either sashed straight or on point, so I have flexibility for the final layout.
