Batiks 1
Some batik scraps. I think I'll make a Log Cabin Spiral in kind of a rainbow progression. Since I love bright batiks with black, I'll use black for one side of the Log Cabins. I'll go for a 7 x 9 setting, so I'll need 63 blocks. I've sorted the scraps into seven color groups, so I'll need to cut for nine blocks from each group. If I don't have enough in the scraps, or If I need more of a color (like I probably will on the blues) I'll go to my regular stash of batiks. I really like working this way - in small "bites"- so about the time I'm getting bored with a color, it's time to move on to the next color.
