My friend just brought back 200 meters of batiks from Indonesia,they are beautiful!I bought 11 yards from her and want to make something that will show off the beautiful patterns.Suggestions for patterns that use large cuts?

Can we see them??

Yes please can we see them. :-)

Please, show and tell???? LOL

yes, please show

What about something like this picture, it would be easy to make up yor own pattern. Just large blocks on point with black or white sashing.

I bought this pattern to go with a Hoffman Jasmine batik bundle. I've got it cut, just need time to sit and sew it.

DH is going to Indoesia in October. Batiks are at the top of his shopping list for me. If you have the name of the shop I would love to know exactly where to send him!

Please post a pic!

I like Atkinson's "Fire Escape" pattern for showy batiks.

I will post pics today,got to wait till there is more light!I will also ask her the name of the shop.Her husband brought back the fabric,he shipped his clothes so he could put it in his suitcases.

This is what i did,. using 6 1/2 inch squares

You can measure the print on the fabric to determine what size square would show the fabric pattern off to best advantage, then cut all the squares to that size. The corner square is just half the size (or less) of the main square, so if you cut 10" squares, the corners would use a 5" (or less).

They look great!You did a super job.I like that pattern,it really show off the batiks.Thanks

Here are pics of what I bought from her.

Those fabrics are awsome. How do the prices compare to here in the USA? I can't wait to see what you make with them.

She sold them to me for 9.00 a yard so I was happy.She uses the profit to support 2 orphanage there.
