I did a quilt with Bali fabric using the half-hexi pattern.
I will try to post it later under Bali half-hexi. It was fun arranging the material into a modern grandma flower garden quilt.

here is a close up of some tie dye next to some batiks. A batik is like a tie dye, but has prints on them. They are just wonderful.

In the pic it is a tie dye, batik, and another batik. You'll see the difference and fall in love with them for sure.

I don't think I seen that one. If anyone finds it, I would like to see it.
