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.
