I just made a beautiful quilt using batik 10 inch squares. I needed a simple but pretty quilt for my DGS. I took the 10 inch squares and laid them out so they looked just perfect in a 6 x 8 grid (yes, I added two extra-42). I used black sashing and used other batiks for cornerstones and then a border that went with the batiks. It is at the long arm quilters right now but I can assure you it is absolutely stunning. I used another brand of batiks than Hoffman but the colors were fantastic.
