Two weeks ago a shipment of batiks came into the shop and I fell in love with them. They were so bright and summery. I kept trying to talk myself out of them.
Yesterday I made the quilt top.
Again I cut half strips but I also opted to put squares In between each strip. I increased the strip width to 3-1/2 inches so it would end up being 96 inches long. I needed more strips so it could be wider - 2400 inches long. I was also shocked to see a pattern emerge from the squares. I envisioned them being more randomly spaced.
I'll post better pictures once I have it quilted.

I love your quilt! Both sides are going to be fabulous. Can't wait to see the finished project!
I think the back is as pretty as the front!
Love the pops of black against the bright colors!
Gorgeous colors. And I agree that the back is as pretty as the front.
Thats amazing that a pattern should appear from the random strips, I LOVE it
I love the top of the quilt and it is just a pattern I have been looking for! Think I could get a copy of the pattern? Sorry I know this post is a few months old...
Jen, I have been watching for updates to your blog. It has been a year now. Are you okay? Have you changed blogs? Whatever is happening in your life, I hope you come back to us soon.
All is well, I just lost interest in documenting every aspect of what I was working on.
