there are a few book out there specifically for batik quilts but i think pretty much any quilt pattern is wonderful in Batiks.
one year i signed up to participate in the lqs' saturday sampler program-
you go once a month receive a block kit- take the finished block in the next month to get the next one...
anyway- we used the Alex Anderson Book- Keep Quilting with Alex Anderson---it is star blocks.
the shop offered it in 2 color ways- 1 batiks - one 30's fabrics- i decided to do them both---plus i pulled from my stash and made the same blocks in flannels and bright novelty prints -- Yup--made 4 quilts from that program that year---
each one is AWESOME...each one is TOTALLY DIFFERENT from the next- it really is amazing how blocks change with color/fabric choices....
be adventurous-
visit a place like quilters cache and make sampler blocks with your batiks...
or
join the June fabshophop--the quilt blocks being found in the hop would be FABULOUS in batiks!
Thanks for the ideas! You know, I signed up for a Thangles BOM that is all different stars and I believe that you have enough to make 2 quilts! Maybe I will try it! Thanks again :)
Here are a couple I have made in the last 5 weeks for graduation gifts for my grands
