This quilt is taking up lots of my time, but this is what I did last week. I had enlarged my paper design to the size I needed - about 34"x34" - marked the squares which I had to cut away and was ready to start the cutting. This was scary to do because if I made mistakes I would not end up with a QR code, but with a Swiss cheese :-). Luckily I can say, that I only made 2 slight errors in marking, but I can cover them up with the quilting. After many hours of cutting the batik fabric away, this is how the top looks now. And yes, my phone can read the QR code!!
I am linking this post to Nina-Marie's Off the Wall Friday, but also to the Quilter's Blog Hop Party. For this I am giving away this snow dyed fat quarter:

Wow, glad to have found your blog. I love to dye too and your code quilt is awesome!
Ik ben de hop-lijst aan het doorlezen en je bent de enige nederlander ertussen! Dat was een extra reden om even bij je te spieken!
What lovely fabric.
I live in the UK but we have friends who live in the Netherlands!
Great finish! Thanks for the giveaway!
Ambitious project wow!! Neat looking fat quarter - thanks for the chance!
Your work is beautiful. Love the hand-dyed fabric. Can't wait to stare at it for a year before cutting.
Thanks!
Snow dyed fabric! I have heard of sun dying, or sun printing, but no with snow. It is magical looking! Your code quilt is also really cool looking! My son and Were just looking at codes yesterday, talking about how fab they would be in a quilt. I grew up in Syracuse, New York, and now I have lived in Sweden (both north and south) for the past 8 years.
Neat quilt...thanks for the chance to win that beautiful snow dyed fabric.
Beautiful fabric!! And your quilt is gorgeous!!
That snow dyed fabric is beautiful. I'd love to win it.

Snow dyed fabric. I think I will have to investigate how to do that. Goodness knows I have enough snow. I don't live in the Netherlands right now but I did twice before. groetjes!
Snow dyed fabric - I had no idea this could be done. I should learn how, we have lots of snow here right now!

Love the fabric!! Thanks
Very pretty and thanks for the chance to win.
What a clever idea! Good luck finishing the quilt!
Just love your quilt. This is so neat and clever. I am from Sonora, CA. I really need to find another quiling project to help chase away the winter blues. This could be the answer. Thank you for joining the Beat the Winter Blues Blog Hop and your snow-covered fat quarter would find its way to another project; maybe mug rug.

That's a lot of work, but your design is gorgeous.
I'd love to have some snow-dyed fabric. Thanks for the chance!
I love the QR code I have though it would be fun to give that a try. There is a lady in my guild that has been doing the Microsoft coded ones that seem a little easier to design.

I made a QR code quilt a couple years ago, but mine was all 2 inch squares! I was worried that if I messed up, it would send people to a porn site. Love your snow dyed fabric!
so what does the qr code say?
Ohhhh. I love your beautiful blog! Hand dyed fabric is my favorite thing to work with, and your work is gorgeous! Thanks for the generous giveaway opportunity.
Leuk dat er ook iemand uit Nederland mee doet, dus ik wil graag een kansje wagen. Vind het wel jammer dat er niet meer mee doen, vorige keer was ik de enigste. Het slaat op een of andere manier hier niet aan. Groetjes Tiny
Great idea to cut out the squares for the QR quilt rather than piecing. Beautiful fabric!
Beautiful quilt and a very pretty snow dying fabric. Did you have enough snow this year?
Great QR Code quilt. You did an amazing job.
I've never made snow dyed fabric and it has been ages since I've done traditional hand dyed. Yours is beautiful.
