Loved all the batiks and kits. Great choices. I have loved watching your challenges for the last 12 months or so and bought 5 downloadable patterns. Two nights ago I laid them out on my table and challenged myself to find suitable sets from my stash. Wow!! It was harder than usual. I kept second guessing myself and swapping ( I felt like Donna was watching over my shoulder checking on me) lol. Did well and only need to buy 1 fabric. Last night I started with "stepping stones" and cut and pieced all the blocks. Tonight I will sew rows together. So quick and easy doing strip assemblies for the first time. Great work Donna and Fran.💛🇦🇺

I love Batiks so am having a hard time choosing my favorite. I guess in the end I will choose Frans last quilt. The pieces and parts really help with the batiks as the batiks seem to have the color “smushed” together and it is harder for me to visualize without the pieces and parts.
