Just finished up this king size quilt top - many batiks and a few other favourites.

Making this one for a friend. The design is from the book 'Batik Gems' by Laurie Shifrin.

Now to let it speak to me on how to quilt it ...

That's very nice! I'm always looking for great batik quilt ideas because I have a LOT of Bali Pops strips left over from the 6 packs I needed for a Fr. braid quilt.

Thanks everyone! One of the fun things with this pattern - the little bars are actually 'flanges' - they're sewn down one side only so they add some dimension.

The pattern called for 10 fabrics for the bars, but I kept finding beauties that would pick out the cherry furniture in her room, a couple have teal accents. The squares end up being 16" so it actually *can* be fairly quick to put together. If life didn't keep interrupting :)

Wow that's wonderful!!!!

taggertykl 06-06-2010 11:47 AM

Beautiful!! I love the batiks. What is the name of the pattern you used? Do you know where I could find it? I'm thinking this might get to the top of my "to-do" list.

Quilt4u 06-06-2010 11:49 AM

Wow!!!! That is beautiful. I love it.

Hi Kathy,

It's from 'Batik Gems' by Laurie Shifrin - the pattern is 'Bits & Bars'.

Very cool! I love the border with the little squares!
