I made a scrappy batik quilt several years ago that incorporated lots and lots of darker batiks. I used lots of different beige prints to balance the batiks in large areas of negative space and quilted it in feathered designs. It was fun to make and I really enjoyed quilting it.

Scrap Basket Quilts is the name of the book I like. I am in progress for the one on the cover. It has a lot of nice patterns for batiks.

I'm in the planning stages of a batik Carpenters Star - love that pattern!!!

It looks pretty good so far. Sorry about the first 3 photos. I don't know why they have that blue cast. The colors of the blocks are pretty close to the real colors. |
I agree with alisonquilts. Stained glass quilts with batiks are beautiful.

They are beautiful, and the black sure makes colors stand out.

I think batiks would make any quilt block shine. I can picture them in many, many different blocks, no favorites, sorry.

[h=1]Batik Gems: 29 Dazzling Quilt Projects [Kindle Edition] by Laurie Shifrin[/h]Oh dear! It looks like my favorite book of quilts made from batiks is out of print. Thank goodness I bought mine when it first came out.
It's worth buying if you can find it. |
I love your quilts, they are gorgeous. I don't care which way they are put, I love them.
