Are you ready???
The 60's were a bit before my time,
but one symbol stood out
from that decade. I

The 60's were a bit before my time,
but one symbol stood out
from that decade. I
decided to use it with a twist
a heart, instead of the traditional peace sign.
All in of course, Batiks. I used my Tokyo charms for the
reds, yellows, and oranges.
It is 120 - 2 inch squares, all in 18 inches.
I had more than a few reservations
while working on this.
But, I love how it turned out.
Surprising, I had this backing
in my stash...
I quilted it all with some new
variegated Aurifil thread I picked up.
I used grey #4670 (my new favorite thread), and yellow #4658.
It went so well with
the color variations in the Batiks.
I hope you enjoyed your little stop here.
Be sure to join in on all the fun
and check out the rest
of the Twisting 60's
Hoppers! ;)
