That is going to be one gorgeous quilt – the fabric combination is stunning!

I don’t have that Hoffman fabric, though it is very pretty. So, we have a possibility for two challenges – a color based one and a “cut into that perfect fabric one”….

hmmm.. which one to do, or both?

I remember that fabric, the guild had a mini quilt challenge, and I had such a little piece of fabric! I still have it hanging on the wall.

That would be great! I wonder if anyone would be interested in doing a challenge with us? I’ll do a post and see if anyone wants to join us, shall I?

Thanks for the brilliant idea, Katie!

I know exactly what you mean about having fabric you can’t bear to cut. I have a few pieces that I have been hoarding for years. I take great pleasure in just taking them out and admiring it. It seems to glow when I tell it how pretty it is.

If you can be brave enough to cut yours in 2010; I will start searching for the perfect pattern for my perfect fabric and use it in 2010 also.

Thank you for commenting, Krista and Mary-Kay! I wish I had EQ6 — maybe someday, fingers crossed! But in the meantime, I have coloured pencils and graph paper! And sometimes a little computer picture of some sort, if I can figure it out. LOL

That’s a really nice fabric. And I would be a little nervous about cutting in to it and making the right quilt. If you have EQ6, you could design the quilt and plug in the fabrics to see what it would look like. Just a thought.

Those are beautiful fabrics. I’m sure you will have a fabulous quilt when you are done.

Exactly! You both understand me perfectly! My husband just didn’t get it (poor man).

Liz, do you have this Hoffman print, too? I have never seen it made up anywhere but would like to!

Howdy, when you do make something with your batik, we want to see that, too!

Thanks for your comments. I always look forward to “speaking” with you!
