Over the last two weeks I have spent some time trying to de-stash some of my batiks. Frankly it is a lost cause, I am not getting anywhere, but it has been fun trying.
I had a difficult time with this batik quilt top. While I thought I had tons of different scraps, it seems there just is never enough variety. However, I figured that it is not supposed to be a masterpiece, the idea is to get rid of some of my batiks. Once I got it all together it seems to have come out rather nicely. It is going to my charity group and I hopefully someone will love it.This is my finished NewYork Beauty Tim Holtz Elements quilt top. I am really pleased with this piece. It was so much fun and something I have never done before. Everyone says New York Beauty blocks are difficult to make. There was a bit of a learning curve with them, but they are paper pieced and that system really does make things easier to get those little sharp points. The best part was you can put colors and shapes together next to each other and get away with it that you can't anywhere else.The pumpkin wall hanging is finished as well. It needs to go off to the quilt this coming week along with the NewYork Beauty.
