Paradise Batik revisted

Many years ago, in an apartment not very far away there was a quilt created for a Moda Bakeshop project Batik Wave, whose scraps were cruelly stuffed in a box.

A box where they have lived until now....

I dug into a box of scraps and came up with a huge amount of roughly 20" strip sets with black and batik strips that I'd made in a brilliant moment of bad math. Luckily it was I now have too much type bad math. 

Ironed cut up and sewn up into 4 patches I came up with this block

Which made this top!

I love happy endings!

Christmas in...June?

So I can finally show you what this is!

I'm super excited!! Can you tell? LOL
