This is beautiful! I'm taking your class and wondered if you had left the 2-3 inches between stitch lines on this one? It's hard to tell in the photo. It really is such a lovely piece!

Thank you. I'm afraid this piece is sold so I don't have it any more to measure the lines and answer your question directly. But, there really are no rules. I recommend that you first piece leaves 2-3'" between each line so you have the maximum flexibility, but after that, I hope you will experiment!

This one is so fantastic!!! I wouldnt have thought that colors with the same values can have such a great effect. It is really wonderful to see how the result can change if you leave some fabric in. Did you use 4 layers? And is the top layer a multicolor fabric? Orange might become my favorite color ;-))

thanks! Yes, 4 layers of batiks. This is my favorite because it is so subtle. The photo is terrible and I've had 3 professionals try to take one that works but the red is something the camera's cannot capture. It is red/red/orange and orange.

Thanks! (It's my favorite too although I found out that cameras cannot photograph reds very well and it looks so different in person!
