Good day, and welcome to my blog.
My last blog entry discussed a project using the Simplicity II pattern available on the Jordan Fabrics website. I liked the pattern so much I have started it again, using a collection of batik 2.5 inch strips:

I believe I ordered this Bali pop to fill out my order of a specialty ruler, so that I wouldn't have to pay shipping costs.
I have sewn the blocks together, and auditioned settings.

Not the final setting, as it turns out. I am currently assembling the blocks into a throw-sized quilt. Borders will be cut and added later this week.
This pattern does have a bit of leftover fabric strips, after cutting for blocks.

In other news:
Simplicity II in Christmas fabrics is quilted, bound, and washed with color catchers. It was quilted with a Holly leaf and berry pattern, which maybe you can see below, on the back of the quilt.
A straw-colored thread was used for the quilting by the long arm quilter, at my request. As mentioned, this will go to a departing minister and his family this coming week.

Such pretty batiks! Thanks for sharing in Sew & Tell.
A perfect pattern for batiks. The results will always surprise and delight because batiks are good like that!
Gorgeous batiks, Viridian. Congrats on your finish for the Simplicity II in Christmas Fabrics quilt! Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings. Have a great week.
So glad you got the minister's quilt done! It looks so pretty and I'm sure he will love it. The new version looks so pretty in those batiks. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
