Batik Charm <strong>Quilt</strong><br />

By Rose Smith from www.ludlowquiltandsew.co.uk<br />

I love batik fabrics - the colours are so vibrant. For this quilt I have<br />

used one of the Fabric Freedom charm packs - it contains thirty two 5"<br />

squares comprising four each of eight different fabrics.<br />

Technically I suppose that means that it isn't a true charm pack which<br />

should contain all different fabrics, but it's still a great pack.<br />

I wanted to use black for the sashing because black tends to bring out the colours of batiks and I also<br />

wanted to show you how to make white sashing strips joining the middle of each square, so I have used<br />

one charm pack, 1.1/4 yard of black and <strong>12</strong>" of white fabric.<br />

The finished quilt is 36" by 54".<br />

Cut the white fabric into eight 1.1/2" strips across the width of fabric.<br />

Cut the black fabric into three 2.1/2" strips for the squares and sixteen 2.1/4" strips for the sashing.<br />
