I finished a project with Island Batik as my take on a modern theme.
I used scraps of Sea salt batiks from Island Batik, then the 8” Accuquilt QUBE.
I used the diamond shape
and the large triangle (used some other blue batik scraps)
I cut out 16 each of green and yellow diamonds and arranged them like this
Then sewed them together but paid attention that it overlapped 1/4”.
A trick is to start with the needle DOWN and then when the pieces are overlaid, they match up perfectly with the needle!
Here I made the 4 x 3 matching sets
Then I added the blue large triangles and sewed the large segments together like triangles, now the top is 16 1/2”
I then quilted it onto some other scrap batik with batting in between and turned it into a pillow
The back of the pillow I folded over 1/4” edges twice and the pieces are about 3-4” bigger and overlapped when I sewed it together, then turned right side out.
Island Batik fabrics are just great to work with to create awesome results!
And it is awesome I agree!
I really like this. Great job.
