Almost any pattern can be made with batiks.
Especially scrappy quilts, like uneven 8 pointed stars.
One secret to using batiks is to buy many clear bright colors. Try using fat quarters only!
Another is to use only colors of all the same values.
Don't follow the rules...leave out the darks and lights.
The darks and lights make visual "holes" .
A quilt made of many medium value bright colors mixed together can be as attractive as a flower garden.
