batik applique
 

I have a pile of these.I need to pick a background -then my grand daughter will pick the layout for these.This will be very different from anything I have done yet.They make a random trail on a neutral background-a large block.

Can't wait to see what it will look like once done!

l love to see creative ideas....

do piano keys with all the different fabrics

Neat shapes! I see a whole lot of appliqué in your future. :)

Very interesting shapes. Please post next steps!

Looks like the beginning of a very pretty and unique quilt! I love the fabrics!

Beautiful fabrics ~ can't wait to see the finished quilt!

Those are sewww cool, can hardly wait to see the finished product.

This looks interesting. Looking forward to seeing the end result.

I see something very cool happening here! Keep posting! PLEASE!!!

peace

Looking very exciting! Yes, please post your steps!

Interesting idea, looking forward to seeing your quilt when it's done.

I would use a very light colored batik for the background. Since you have black in some of them, I would be afraid some of the pieces would fade into the background.

the colors are gorgeous

I am thinking black would make these really stand out. Have to post it once finished.

You & me both! This is going to be good!

Beautiful fabrics....the colour palette looks fantastic....I will watch with great interest (and may I say...It looks like a tricky one).

Great shapes and fabrics!!! I would think you would need to audition several fabrics for this task. I am inclined to think of a dove grey, a greyish mild green or a light beige. Perhaps an old rose even. I want to see what you do with this. Do all the backgrounds need to be the same? Some of those shapes would do really well on black.

Like everyone else, I can't wait to see the finished quilt! It's very interesting :D

very interesting looking Can'twait to see the layout Keep us posted!

Pretty fabrics-interested in seeing finished project!

looks very interesting... can't wait to see the results

These look a lot like ones in a Piece o Cake design that I made. I used a neutral background by Mark Lipinski's Home. Most of mine were pink and purple, so I used a very pale lilac.

Looks wonderful! Did you cut all those out, or did you purchase them that way?

oooohhh this is going to be beautiful!!! :)

Interesting! Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Oh, these are AWESOME! Can't wait to see what you do with this project!

Pretty colors, were they cut with an accu-cut?

I can't wait to see the finished quilt. You always do such good work! I think a white background would really make the colors pop. A dark background might give it a dramatic feel...if the colors wouldn't get lost. You should lay some of the pieces out on some background fabrics & take pictures to see how each color works.

Beautiful batiks. I cannot wait to see the finished quilt.

For background how about a pastel that had different shades running through, the kind you barely see the color.

Oh how much fun you'll have arranging them! Please post a pix.

Yes, I too want to see pictures of this,, I do like batiks on black but I agree that some of them would be lost,, just have to audition your bg fabric.. It is very neat

I want to see how theses go together .... hurry please with that picture. LOL

Those are so pretty. I can't wait to see it finished. :)

Wow! Love the colors and I can't wait to see it finished.

I agree with everyone else. I would love to see it when it is finished. Josie

The shapes are different I have never seen anything like them. I am weighting to see it when finished.

I've never seen those shapes for applique but I like them. Can't wait to see it when your done. Great fabrics.
