Pretty Pieces


Anytime I get to play with the batiks I'm happy.



 Adding the pieced border was a joy.



 I used the "close enough is good enough" mantra.



 I didn't measure anything or try to make it all come out at the corners. I just eyeballed it.



Not bad. Not bad at all. Now I have to go see if I have anything in the stash for a backing. I just spent a lot of money online buying backing for another quilt and forgot all about this one. The problem is that now I don't trust myself to go online fabric shopping again because I do believe another quilt kit somehow got in that order and the last thing I need is another quilt kit.

    Until you wrote that last sentence, I was going to suggest Craftsy for your backing. They still have a fair bit in the end of the bolt sale - some are very large chunks (8or9 yards) that you could get a couple quilt backs out of maybe.

    The top looks fantastic!!! I love wedding rings - and rings with batiks.... SWOON!
