What to do with the samples of batik fabric? well you could add a plain and a stripe and another VERY jazzy fabric, and put squares, triangles and strips together --
Some of the quilting is through the wadding and top only; the lines that were to be quilted through the backing as well were marked with 1/4" masking tape. Warning: the tape can leave a residue. Let it sit on some non-precious fabric for a while, so it leaves the nasty stuff there, and then re-use on the quilt.
This is about 16" wide and the edges were finished by sewing the backing, right sides together, all around, then cutting a slit where the sleeve for hanging will cover it, and turning the quilt right side out. The backing is the yellow-green fabric with the futuristic whirls on it - they remind me of the work of Edward Wadsworth.
