This is another long winded RSC finish, which started off as another completely different project, way back when we lived in Upper Hutt. I found my big bag of batiks, and decided to make Cobblestone blocks instead, and there it floundered again. Eventually added it to the RSC list and started making Cobblestone blocks in the colour of the month, working away until I had stitched sufficient blocks to give me the required number for a large quilt.
The top is finished
I like to get the binding done early
It took me a while, but I finally finished the label, so my Batik Beauty is finally done. I had offered this project to my daughter and granddaughters, but they all declared they didn't like it. I love it, and I'm happy it is finally finished living with me.
My Batik Beauty, finished at last

That is a wonderful quilt. I love the colors and what a great pattern to highlight those pretty batiks. I'm thinking it is happy to be living with you.
I love it too. I want one!
Your quilt looks fabulous, Jenny . Such pretty colors. Congratulations on your fantastic finish. I love seeing Gemma too. She is a doll.
Batiks are usually not my favorite, but your quilt is gorgeous!! Makes me need to rethink batiks.

My, I think it is absolutely beautiful. I cannot imagine why your daughter and granddaughters didn't like it. (Did I read that correctly, it just seems impossible). Well I think it's lovely and it looks beautiful on your bed. Enjoy!
Love that quilt - i think you are lucky the others didnt like it!
I think it is a lovely quilt. Great colours. Glad to see it has a special place to live.
Congratulations on a lovely finish produced by your hardworking hands! It looks great on your bed, and I'm happy you're using it. I am familiar with the unpleasant feeling of having one's gift of a quilt refused. Keep making, and enjoy!
