Batiks look beautiful in the Yellow Brick Road pattern. I made one for a young lady to take with her to college. She loved it and was so glad to have it since her dorm was always cold. Even though DH knew the quilt was for her he had hopes I'd keep it.

I have several batiks that were given to me also, I have been looking at the Scrappy Batiks quilt in the picture section and figured out the pattern, now all I have to do is cut the blocks and get ready to sew. why is it so hard to get started some days?

Nice boss! Save out what you want and then...well, you have lots of ideas. You could always donate to churches, guilds that make quilts for homeless shelters, NICUs, etc. Whatever you decide, enjoy the thoughtfulness of that boss.

I made the most beautiful Courthouse Steps Log Cabin quilt with batiks. I also made several other quilts with batiks and they are beautiful. If you have any of Kim Brackett's books, I would suggest using any of her patterns. I think batiks cut up and used with black or even beige (white) work great in a scrappy quilt. I think I've made 4 quilts now with batiks and they were very scrappy. Lucky you with all that wonderful quilt fabric, sort of an early Mother's Day gift.
