missouri star quilt has a good tut on chevron quilt using layer cakes. You could use the pale batik as the "white" rows.

I was given a layer cake package as a gift. It contains 20 of the palest batiks I have seen. They are very pretty but what do I do with them? Anyone suggest a pattern? What color background would make them stand out?

Dina, thanks so much for the directions! Very helpful.

Yes, what Tartan said. Mix them with some other darker ones and pick a pattern you like.
|
Oh, I just saw the picture and thought of something. How about a stained glass quilt? They should look great with black accent lines.

Missouri Star quilt company has a tut on Double Slice Layer quilt. I am getting ready to do that one but because all your fabric is pastel it might not show up. I like looking through their list of how to do tutorials for new ideas.

How about paring all the "like" colors together and making a quilt that fades one color into another?
This could be something like using a jelly roll OR a star pattern. |
I saw a quilt on a TV show where the designer used pale batiks.She used them as in a rainbow.Soft yellow to green to blue etc She did this in any quilt that needed a off white or neutral fabric as the main fabric.Her quilts ranged from period to modern .She said what was neat about it was you never had to worry about running out of back ground fabric.

I am not sure if you have batiks in your stash, but I would pair each pale batik with its matching dark sibling and make a two fabric block like Magic Squares...so pale purple with dark purple, pale blue with navy blue etc.

Those are really gorgeous fabrics. Now that you know how to post pictures, you can post the finished quilt!
