I don't think I've ever seen a batik quite like this. I think it's lovely... but not being a "batik expert", I'd like to get other opinions before I order it.

What do you think? Do you like it? Which of the colors in it would you be most likely to try to bring out with coordinating fabrics? The mauve, or the lavender-blue, or the green?

Love this, any of the colors but I'm partial to blues.:)

I love it! I think I would lean toward lavender and green but you could incorporate mauve as well.

That is gorgeous. I'm thinking lavender and green as well. I may need a few yards of this.

I would incorporate purples & greens. Is this fabric on the market now - what manufacturer?

ooooh, I really like that. I have come to really love batiks. I would go with your favorite color, then a little of the others also.

love it! Any of the colors would look beautiful.

It's not on the market yet. It is part of a future group by Timeless Treasures, due to come out in late May.

I have to make up my mind about this by tomorrow so that I can get my order placed before the April 1st price increase.

I agree, lavendar and green. Lovely print.

that is a gorgeous fabric, definetly the purples and greens to go with it.

That is a beauty! I just love batiks...I marvel at the beautiful colors and patterns. I also would pull in lavender and green...and maybe a bit of pale yellow also. I'll have to keep my eyes open for this one. Thanks for the advance peek.

well in the sample the mauve is definitely popping out...

and then i see the green...

the lavender-blue is there but not so much in the sample...
so if the whole fabric exudes the same tonal qualities i would pull the lav-blu...but i would have to see a larger swatch

and even tho i am one who is not "into" batiks...i luv this fabric...its beautiful!

How pretty!

I want it all!:)

I'd do mainly the purples, and some green~

I love batiks and use a lot of them.. I would like this for a sampler quilt, but in more of a supporting than starring role.
I would pull all of the colors out and mix them all up in blocks.. then use this for a border also.. and possibly the back.. it would also make a wonderful summer sundress.. yep.. I'd definitely buy this.

I love it very much! I would buy a bolt if I could.

I don't care for it at all.

Beautiful! I would go with the green and mauve. It almost looks like lavender on my computer. I think it would be beautiful in a quilt!

It would not make it into my shopping basket.

I use this piece as the focus fabric and try to bring in all of the other colors.

Lanny

Pretty!! I would bring out the mauve/lavendar and blues :D:D:D

I'm partial to the greens, perhaps with mauve.

I love batiks. I would buy it.

Why not all of them then your customers can do it their. If you just go with one or two there are going to be people asking for the colors you didn't get. I don't usually buy anything with flowers only but I love this and can see it with each and combinations.

Lovely fabric, I would go with the lavender and greens also.

Gorgous fabric. All colors to go with it

Wow,that is a really pretty batik. I would put all the colors in with it. I am a scrappy kind of quilt maker- I agree that this fabric would be the focus! :thumbup:

I like it!!! I would bring out the purples and the the greens!!

Absolutely love this fabric. I too will have to get a bit of it. I would love to see the purples with it and would consider the greens.
You said the price increase is in April. Will it be a soft increase or hit us hard???

They're going up by about the same amount that all the other makers have raised their prices so far this year. You can expect retail prices to climb by 50 - 75 cents / yard.

It's not the end of the world. I'm expecting to see the same size price increase again in another 6 months or so.

Oooooooooo Very pretty!!!

WOW that is just beautiful!

Lavendar blue, dilly, dilly.

As a collector of batiks, have to say I have NEVER seen one with roses. It is gorgeous! There are so many blue to purple batiks that would highlight them beautifully. Of course, would throw in a splash of green. :thumbup:

nice! i would use lots of lavs/soft purple. i would minimize the greens

All of them!

That is lovely. I would use all the colors.

I would use ALL the colors!

Ohhhhhhhhhh, I have fabric envy - big time! =)
