Trick on mixing fabrics if you don't already know. When cutting off section keep piles of fabric intact. Take top fabric and place on bottom of pile...Now each piece will be matched up with a different fabric. I just made a king size comforter out of batiks and I love it. Looks very scrappy. I used 132 different batiks...most of which I had in my stash LOL. A few of my friends filled in the rest. Hope I have explained this so you can understand. If interested and need more info please PM and I will talk you through it. Carol
This is a video that demonstrates this technique by Missouri Star Quilt company.
