This past week I pulled out my bin of Batik scraps
and started making a new quilt,
using a pattern designed by a friend of mine,
using a pattern designed by a friend of mine,
Augusta Cole.
Her pattern is called "Cherokee Whispers"
and is available here.
After making LOTS of HST's....
And sewing them into blocks...
And sewing the blocks together...
I ended up with this wonderful quilt.
Batiks worked so well with this pattern.
I did have to pay close attention to the direction of the HST's,
and only needed my seam ripper once!
This will be for a niece who loves the Native American designs.
I think it fits!
Now I've added another one to my list to be quilted!
Happy Quilting!

Love it, absolutely love it! I'm so dislexic with HSTs, I'd probably have to use the ripper more than once.
Beautiful! I get a headache just thinking about that many HSTs, so am very impressed.
That's so beautiful Ramona! You're right - the batiks are perfect for it! So colorful and definitely Native American looking. She'll love it!
It's amazing what comes out of the scraps. It is just lovely.

No surprise...I love this quilt! I think this design could have easily involved more time with your seam ripper....much too easy to get those turned the wrong way. Good Job.
Well I would have never thought the a bunch of HST's could be native american. Great design!
Wow! Further proof that scrappy works! This is very pretty done all in batiks.
Really pretty. You did a great job with the colors.
That's a lovely use of HSTs.
Oh Ramona! That is an absolutely gorgeous quilt! I really love the effect the pattern has - the directions of the HST shapes and the colors! Hey that is really good only using your seam ripper once.
I love HST quilts and this one is gorgeous! Your niece is such a lucky girl! I haven't worked with batiks before, they look so lovely in your quilt. :) Thanks for linking up to MCM!
