Do you like "stripey" batiks?

Yes I do. The top one could be used as water, or cut a certain way it would make vibrant tropical leaves.
The magenta stripes could be so many things it would need to be tried out on everything to look for a good 'fit'.
The bottom one would be fantastic for weathered wood that's gotten wet from rain, wood grain, water, rocks, or any other out door surface...
(Yeah, I like art quilts. Batiks are wonderful for those.)

I find that the striped batiks make GREAT binding for quilts and also they're great for little pieces in among larger pieces. They don't always look that great by themselves but they are very nice when used the right way. And.........I still have lots of stripe batik for sale. Private message me if you are not already on my mailing list and I can give you info.

I think they are beautiful & just need the right pattern. Amma's idea of the pinwheels would be good. I remember seeing a really neat quilt using striped fabric at the Sister's quilt show that was gorgeous!!

Maybe there are a few other quilters out there who could share some of their use of striped batik material too?
