As I recall, the pattern uses yardage, but can easily be adapted to fat quarters. The fabrics used in this quilt are just fabulous. (in my opinion) If I could purchase them now, I would.
Funny - I made that quilt when Easy Quilts featured it, right down to searching out the fabrics (Silvia's Garden). I agree - gorgeous fabrics! I do think some of them are still available if you search - Silvia Vassileva is the fabric designer.

That pattern would work for batiks, but keep in mind some of what looks like small piecing is actually a 10 or 12" square of fabric that has a multicolor grid design to it, giving the illusion of smaller pieces in different colors.
