I hope this helps those that are having problems with finding cream colored batiks.

    They are beautiful. Did you purchase them online or at your local quilt shop?

    I just found them here: http://www.fatquartershop.com/Tonga-...es-Fabrics.asp

    They have them in strips or 10" squares. Both could be used with Edyta's papers as long as you cut them down first...

                  I'm confused but maybe that's from the freezing weather!! Do we have to use a cream or white on one side? I have some colorful print batiks and I would like to use them and a pale color with it. Is that OK?

                    I think I'm finally ready to start doing my hsts. Got the papers, got the batiks, got the books and yesterday I found a few more neutral/beige batiks at my LQS. My daughter has planned a trip or two home from college to do hers with me too! I'm jazzed!

                    Ritzy-thanks again for organizing this! Hope you have power and aren't freezing! The news reported that Northern Indiana is having both! Take care!

                      Booklady, if you look at the rules on the first page of this forum, you will see that it states "light on one side, dark on the other." It does not say that we HAVE to use a cream. But, we HAVE to use only batks and have a good contrast.

                            110 is our new number for those who want to make one for each person. There are still a few that have not sent me their email address:

                            It is important to send me your email address for two reasons: I will tell you where to send the HST blocks and I will email you when I receive your package.

                                I would like to sign up for this exchange, too. If my understanding is correct, we send one hst for every participant, and as long as there is good contrast between the fabrics - the light does not have to be cream or white.
