These blocks were started as my homage to Mary Simon - noted designer of Baltimore Blocks.I started this project with a great group of folks through Quilt Adventures - which is no longer in business. These are designed to be 16 inch blocks - I used all batiks, along with inking and various novelty embroidery threads. I actually have hopes of finishing this project - though I may not use all 20 designs. I'll post more finished blocks. Once again, the colors are deeper and richer "in the real". I have such a kick making these pieces - though they do take a long time !

This is just SO juicy and wonderful. I can hear the sound that redwinged blackbird makes deep in memory.
Haven't done any hand appliqué in a long time. Now I have to cook something up. Thanks.
And how DO you get the little round things to be so Round??

Marie these are gorgeous! Love them done in the batiks. I'll bet these are stunning in person.
Gorgeous colours - love the fabrics and designs - reminds me how much I enjoy hand applique - and really fancy another crack at Baltimore.
I really love this design and the colors.
these are really lovely. the inking adds a nice touch.
