The July Island Batik Ambassador challenge was to make a quilt that created secondary patterns when the blocks were connected. I shared my block last issue and here's a glimpse of my finished design. The Checker block has so many possible variations for setting the blocks.
This week I'm sharing this latest finish in conjunction with hosting TGIFF. I hope you'll click over and share your finish today.
I finished my Checker quilt and started piecing my August Island Batik project, featuring the vibrant colors of Petting Zoo (see above).
The week has also been filled with spending time with family and friends. Good food, fun outings, and beautiful weather. I'm enjoying the long days of summer. August will bring a bit of a break from sewing as we enjoy the last couple weeks of summer.
Back and Forth is designed to feature a medium to large scale print, surrounded by coordinating fabrics. It works well with a variety of solids or blenders. It's the perfect size for a baby or as a cuddle quilt for a toddler.
