You can cut a batik into pieces and not find the same color, it creates a unique perspective of color.
jdiane318, are you talking about tonga rhapsody? i am piecing a top now for lqs bom. it is going to be visually hypnotic and is sooo much prettier than the picture...large l09 x 92, i think. you are correct...no two pieces are the same and to top that, in this pattern, no two squares are the same and there are 12 squares, 10.5" each, with about 5 interior sashings with scattered inch=size blocks tumbling thru border and sashings. think i may be ready for 'zoo' if i get this finished. i am definitely a batik fan here. oh, did i mention there are 13 different fabrics involved? if this is the quilt you are thinking of, please pm me that i can live thru this.
