    Does any one have any great patterns for batiks? My sales rep just gave me a ton of outdated samples ranging in size from 8x13 inches to 16x13 inches. It will have to be a scrappy quilt since there is only one piece of each print.

    If you do a search of "sewing on Sunday's" I posted a picture of a really scrappy batik quilt to that I had just finished.

    Hope that helps

    I love batiks. You can use them in pretty much any pattern you use regular cottons in.

    How about the Disappearing 9 Patch or Turning 20.

    I love the look of batiks but I've been too afraid to try to use them in anything. Lucky you to have so many to play with!

    here are two that I did with batiks...

    the sunrise-sunset is various sizes of stars and pain to put together..
    the psycho-babble is a pattern I made up just playing around...

    batiks are great for that sort of thing... they don't have to match anything
