On Ringo Lake -- Part 1 -- which fabrics?

On Ringo Lake Mystery from Bonnie Hunter's Quiltville got started with part 1 last Friday...are you doing it?

I'm not sure if I want to use quilting cottons or batiks. So I experimented.

What do you think?

Quilting Cottons (do you remember the projects I did using "Elementary" ...I found that stash and came up with some great 'aqua'  and 'neutral' pieces and a few others from my stash)

My own design: Charmed Network


adapted from Tricia Cribbs' Strips Ahoy:







And now for the batiks --I'm using Island Batik fabrics specifically (at least seen here):

I think either would look great.  Hmmm...maybe wait for Part 2 to make a final decision :-) Or ...just do both?

Linking up here.

  1. Do both. OR mix and match. Nothing wrong with mixing batiques and cottons!

  2. I would say mix them up. Do a bit of both and get REALLY scrappy.

  3. I agree with the others. Mix them all up. It will really give your finished quilt some sparkle. More is always better when picking quilt fabrics!
