I went through the Tula blocks yesterday and pulled out those with any batik on, I have 15 and thinking of doing a small wall hanging with these. The blocks will be cut down to 8.5", planning I think to cut them crooked then the eye will not notice so much the errors in the individual blocks, not so sure I like the black now but what the heck I am a beginner and can and will learn form my mistakes. I think the correct way to go about it is to join the blocks then add the wadding and backing then quilt it, after that I put the binding on and wow all is done!! just like that.

Oh, this is lovely! So vibrant and intense!
The black outlines each block and makes it really spectacular!
This looks spectacular--just like a stained glass window with those bright colors against the black slashing.
I love the black Margaret, and like Margo, think it looks like a beautiful stained glass window. Gorgeous!!
Black around the batik blocks makes them wonderful
Wow, this looks absolutely terrific!

Beginner? you don't stitch like a beginner! this is lovely.
The black works really with the bright colours
Black and brights. Always a winner. This looks great!
Looks fantastic, you'll have a finish to be proud of, very soon
The black looks good it makes the colours stand out, it should look lovely when it is all complete, well done!
When you look at your CQ quilt, do YOU think it needs stitching on the borders? That's the only criteria. =) I love your black! If you think it's too much together, you could stitch narrow batik sashing in between the blocks. Use up some scraps. =)
Great idea to pull out the batik blocks and put them together. It's looking great.
I do love those batik fabrics you used. Great job.
Love the batiks with the black. Really makes them stand out!
Lovely blocks! Batik fabrics and black looks pretty.Love the bottom right corner block,gorgeous colors!
It looks very nice, Margaret. If I look at your layout I can see a small strip of batik between the blocks to break the black. Just an idea :-)
Your batik quilt will be spectacular. I also would take time and ponder how to finish your crazy quilt!
Lindo seu blog...
