Zip Strip is the name of the pattern, from the Fun & Done Quilting technique. The reason I want to use it is because the strips are large but not straight. There are 6 strips per block. I want to see more of the pattern on the batik fabric. There are probably other patterns that would work and I may change my mind, it's been known to happen. There's nothing fancy about the pattern so I think the batiks will take center stage instead of the design. I hope you can see where I'm going with my ideal. I have such a tendency to go for batik that I don't give other fabrics a chance. I really need to deversify.
