I made a scrappy batik quilt several years ago that incorporated lots and lots of darker batiks. I used lots of different beige prints to balance the batiks in large areas of negative space and quilted it in feathered designs. It was fun to make and I really enjoyed quilting it.

It looks pretty good so far.
Sorry about the first 3 photos. I don't know why they have that blue cast. The colors of the blocks are pretty close to the real colors.

[h=1]Batik Gems: 29 Dazzling Quilt Projects [Kindle Edition] by Laurie Shifrin[/h]Oh dear! It looks like my favorite book of quilts made from batiks is out of print. Thank goodness I bought mine when it first came out.
It's worth buying if you can find it.
