I carried my funky-colored batiks to the sewing expo in Fredericksburg, VA, yesterday, and tried to find some very different color that "popped". It wasn't until I found the hand dyed silk ribbon that it pulled together, and then I was on the hunt for some yardage. I believe the original batiks are Hoffman, as I saw something very close to one of them in a different color.

Anyway, now I need to figure out what to make of all this (about 3 yds total). I had to buy a yard of the new greenish batik, so it becomes the new "main". I do not know how to incorporate the ribbon; a very creative friend insisted I get it, and maybe she can show me how to use it! The original batiks are top right in the first photo and bottom in the second. Thank you for all your help so far!
