Wouldn't buy it, too loud, like the smaller ones better.

CarrieAnne 04-01-2011 06:41 AM

I like it, but I like the other ones better.

scaroca 04-01-2011 06:41 AM

I would not buy it.

QuiltNama 04-01-2011 06:50 AM

I like it, but I lean towards the loud and bright

It would make a wonderful tropical quilt.

Quiltbeagle 04-01-2011 06:56 AM

I like it and would probably use it as a border.

I would have to agree with Amma

ggreenridley 04-01-2011 07:13 AM

I like the large one, it has many possibilities.

quiltingcousin 04-01-2011 07:14 AM

Too wild and "out there" for my taste.

Mariposa 04-01-2011 07:15 AM

I love it! Very bright and abstract! Will give a quilt interesting movement! :)

Stacey 04-01-2011 07:23 AM

I think it is gorgeous.

Ziva 04-01-2011 07:33 AM

I love it. It has colors I really like.

AnnaF 04-01-2011 07:45 AM

I probably would not buy it..not hideous tho

dash2000lbs 04-01-2011 07:59 AM

I like it... Doing Hawaiian appliqué and
could work .. Luv luv batiks...

malega 04-01-2011 08:05 AM

I am a batic freak, so I like it all.

eso9727 04-01-2011 08:18 AM

I love the colors, I would use it a a focal block.

cantrelld 04-01-2011 09:03 AM

I love it. It's different and bright. Sometimes I have trouble with batiks because they all seem so "muddy".

matraina 04-01-2011 09:13 AM

I wouldn't be drawn to it but love all the others.

I have some flip flop batiks that would be fun with it.

Not a big fan!

I agree.

gramquilter2 04-01-2011 10:44 AM

I like it, I have an embroidered quilt pattern that it would work in perfectly. The pieces would be cut small but it may make a nice border.

roadrunr 04-01-2011 10:46 AM

It would work for some quilts, but I would say in small doses. I would only buy what I needed for a project.

Shirlx 04-01-2011 10:55 AM

I love it.

IDquilter 04-01-2011 11:23 AM

Like them all.

FarmStitcher 04-01-2011 11:40 AM

The large one does not work for me, but I do like all the rest.

trolleystation 04-01-2011 12:03 PM

One thumb up and one thumb down.

Definitely hideous, but all of the smaller ones look great.

kclausing 04-01-2011 12:13 PM

I love it. bright and cheery

Looks like chicken feet prints to me!

glenda 04-01-2011 12:19 PM

It's way too cluttered looking in my opinion. I wouldn't buy it.

roda 04-01-2011 12:21 PM

The ugliest stuff I've ever seen. You need to get rid of it as soon as possible. Send it my way...really think it neat and do like it

cheryl rearick 04-01-2011 12:24 PM

I like it... only one I do not like is the dark gold yellow the only blue I would like with the big picture is on the bottom left. I like the other blues but NOT with the main picture. I do like brights, no not for all quilts but they ae fun and exciting... (((I do like)))) :)

A psychologist would have a field day with our responses...I see chicken feet.

Kayaker26 04-01-2011 12:59 PM

I wouldn't buy it.

sewgarden 04-01-2011 01:00 PM

I like it

butterflywing 04-01-2011 02:07 PM

"Is this an interesting batik, or is it hideous?"


YES

Neena 04-01-2011 02:14 PM

I love it! It would be the star in just the right quilt, beach house table topper, or a great bag or tote. I'd buy it. Kinda kokopelli-like.

Judy Smith 04-01-2011 02:21 PM

I really don't care for it. But do like the others.
