Batik Fish quilt top and raffle quilt preview

In case you think I don’t do anything quilty anymore, I do, and today I thought I’d show you a little of what I’ve been up to this week.

Earlier this summer, I took a class from a local teacher who taught a class titled “Drunkards Path Revisited”. Her sampler was really pretty, but, I had to change it for me a bit. So after class when I was making the final blocks, I decided to lay them out around a batik panel I’ve been wanting to work with for a while. And then I had to do something different for the border. With the help of Gayle McKay and Ronda Beyer, I had some instruction on scalloped borders. Having never done one before, I was a little stumped for a while. Yep, I’ve been quilting for 19 years now and had never before done a scalloped border! End result, a top I can’t wait to put on the machine and quilt! This one’s talking to me, big time!!!

Why don’t I load it today, well, I’m working on quilting Lincoln Quilters raffle quilt. A pretty Tennessee Waltz quilt in blues and reds. Here’s a tiny preview of what I’m putting on this beauty

Sorry, you’ll have to click on the link. My photo software program isn’t playing nicely since I transferred it to the new laptop and 20 minutes is all the time I have this morning to get it the right size to upload as a clickable thumbnail. I probably need to sit down for a couple hours and figure out how to get it to do what it used to do on the old computer, before the programming was “upgraded”.

  1. Judy…. Looks like you used part of the scallop design pattern I sent you, I like what you did with the corners. Great job!

  2. Wow – love the batik fish – great way to use a class project with something to make it special.
