Batik Bazaar Finished !

Batik Bazaar
72 x 96
It's a finish! 



The centers of these blocks, framed four patches, were leftovers from a long ago swap.  The Massachusetts block calls for an 8.5 inch center so I used a framed four patch instead. 

I quilted it on my sewing machine with vertical lines in a variegated green thread. 


The backing is a floral on black and the binding is a woven look black. 

My theme to move UFOs forward this month in the sewing space is "Oldies and Biggies" and this one fits both categories. 

And sew on...

This is a graphic beauty! Any block with lines of marching triangles is good and this one is spectacular.

A dramatic quilt, I love it. The bold lines, the black, and the batiks all work so well together.
