Inching towards perfecting
The batik colorwash I have been tweaking and tweaking I hope is coming to the time where I can take it down and sew it. I rummaged through all my batik scraps trying to find some dark reds to make the corner more defined and smoothed. Sometimes, it is like a Rubik's cube- move one piece and others scream out to get moved. I moved some of the light colors also. This is the red corner that kept bothering me.
After cutting some more squares and rearranging, I had this.
And this is what the black and white looks like.
I almost can't even see this clearly anymore. I will wait another day to make a decision. Can't wait to web it.

I'm impressed! This is one style of quilt that I just can't do. I did one and it was too stressful.
Very nice!! I did a variation of this years ago - actually did two of them - and remember that if I moved one square, I wound up moving twenty. I finally had to stop and tell myself - "OK - I'm DONE!" - or I'd still be messing with it - LOL - ;))
Beautiful work!
Your color wash is gorgeous!
Don't move a thing. You are ready to web it together! This is just fabulous...all your transitions look smooth. So deep breathe and stack it up to sew. It is beautiful.
It looks great Linda!
You've tweaked it well -- Mine is stalled until after our quilt show ends and the quilts are down and returned to their owners. With the special exhibit quilts here in my house, I'm overly involved this year - for a very good cause (the 70273 Project). The squares will wait - I'm sure of it.
