I recently made a lap quilt in a "shuffle the deck" technique -- all batiks. You use 6 fabrics each of 5 colors, and try to blend, but other than that, it's very easy piecing and construction.

Regarding using Batik Fabric, look on to the Arkansas Man Quilter website, he has some stunning quilts designed by Louisa L. Smith, Strips n Curves is the title of the book, I have ordered this book cannot wait to get started.
"Eternal", "The Cosmos" and "Fall Leaves" are all done in Batik, they are some of the most stunning quilts and Wall Hangings on this planet.
I cannot wait to bring the lovely batik fabric designs to life in these fantastic quilts.

Carol
