SPA COLLECTION BATIKS AND A BIG BLOCK PATTERN

When it came to making a quilt for my mother in law I decided to work with a collection of batiks from Keepsake Quilting.  I had the fabric for several months before finally deciding on a pattern.  I found a pattern called The Big Blocks Quilt by Black Cat Creations that I thought would accent the fabrics well.  I bordered the blocks with narrow strips of white and believe the overall look turned out nicely.  The colors are a bit more vivid that the photo shows.

The small borders are a great accent but can be a bit of a challenge to work with.
The back is a very soothing batik
I decided to keep it simple so as
not to take away from the front.

The final size is 53" x 71" which is a nice size to sit on the couch with to read a book or watch TV.  I'd like to make another quilt with this pattern but with bolder colors.  I imagine it will have a completely different look and feel.
