Batik Tablecloth

db

This is Diane’s Batik Tablecloth and she created the pattern herself.  She was having fun playing around with triangles and came up with this design to cover one of her tables.   Since it was for a table I had to try it on one of mine!  I really like how nicely it drapes!  She asked for custom quilting and I made sure that the quilting designs had even density so that it laid flat knowing it was going to be used on a table.

I stitched in the ditch around the colourful batik triangles and used a ruler to create the arrow design in the triangles.  Free hand swirls added a contrasting texture in the light background.  I used white So Fine thread and Quilters Dream Blend batting.

We had a lot of rain over the weekend and everything is so green right now.  I’m hoping this coming weekend will be sunny so we can take our kayaks out for a paddle.

  3. That drape is just spot on and the quilting is exactly what was needed. What a great design - she'll have to make a pattern up for people to buy!

    Super backdrop too. :D
