I'm asking about the large picture... the others are to give some context.

It would work for some things, but not as easily as the others below it. I would not buy it for my stash, it would be on an if needed basis :D:D:D

Afton 03-31-2011 08:05 AM

It's loud, but I like it, it seems very tropical to me. It evokes a parrot image.

tealfalcon 03-31-2011 08:06 AM

I like it

sewn3w 03-31-2011 08:06 AM

I suspect this will have limited use in most people's stash

fabric_fancy 03-31-2011 08:07 AM

i wouldn't buy it

katsewnsew 03-31-2011 08:07 AM

I sure like it!

lisalovesquilting 03-31-2011 08:08 AM

Don't really care for it, but like all the others.

Jim's Gem 03-31-2011 08:08 AM

I wouldn't buy it unless it was on a super clearance

AlienQuilter 03-31-2011 08:09 AM

I love the background color but not the design/color of whatever that design is. Sometimes it's hard to tell on a batik what the design represents! A lot of it is like abstract art.

clsurz 03-31-2011 08:11 AM

I like it but than again I like all batiks. Batiks are great when fabric painting.

wanderingcreek 03-31-2011 08:13 AM

It's okay but I do like most of the others.

Spydee 03-31-2011 08:15 AM

I have to admit I like it.

With that being said, it is either the perfect fabric for a project or it would be the fabric that doesn't flow quite right.

Truthfully, I am not all that fond it with the cordinates.

kraftykimberly 03-31-2011 08:18 AM

I like it, but then again, I'm a batik freak.

Candace 03-31-2011 08:18 AM

I don't like it at all.

SueJ 03-31-2011 08:25 AM

I wouldn't buy it for myself.

katier825 03-31-2011 08:30 AM

I like it. Great addition for a guy's quilt or tropical themed quilt.

SuzanneG 03-31-2011 08:50 AM

As a large piece, I don't love it. But sometimes these types of fabrics look really great in small doses (and in small pieces) throughout your quilt. I could see it having a place in your quilt this way.

SuzanneG 03-31-2011 08:50 AM

Sorry, this site is acting up and it posted my reply twice. :oops:

farscapegal 03-31-2011 08:50 AM

I like it.

boohoofish 03-31-2011 09:01 AM

I like it nad used in the right place could really enhance a quilt.

Amma hit the nail on the head.

jackied 03-31-2011 09:06 AM

Its unique for a batik. It would sure add color but don't know how I would use it.

cctx. 03-31-2011 09:06 AM

I like it.
Any Batik looks good with Black Kona cotton, IMHO.

quiltgran2 03-31-2011 09:07 AM

Not keen. Doubt I would ever buy that particular batik.

rusty quilter 03-31-2011 09:20 AM

Not my style, but my sister in law would probably love it.

dixiebelle162002 03-31-2011 09:23 AM

I like it! It has a very summery, tropical feel. It makes me think of palm trees.

Pitty Pat 03-31-2011 09:25 AM

love it...it is bright cheerful and fun.

alaskasunshine 03-31-2011 09:27 AM

it reminds me of candy corn! :lol: It is interesting

quilterjody 03-31-2011 09:30 AM

I like it. I think it would bring some sparkle to the others.

pab 03-31-2011 09:48 AM

I am a batik lover but would not buy this fabric pab

Miss Ice 03-31-2011 09:50 AM

I'm not sure if i could find a use but i think it is fun and pretty.

mayday 03-31-2011 10:04 AM

love it .

Kitsapquilter 03-31-2011 10:15 AM

I am not really fond of that fabric but I could see it used in something (a quilt or maybe a bag) for a younger person like a teenager or younger.

quiltsRfun 03-31-2011 11:08 AM

It's not one that I'd choose personally but could be interesting in some designs. I'd say it depends on how it's used.

Lakeview Quilting 03-31-2011 11:12 AM

Hmmmmmm, interesting.

TeriD 03-31-2011 11:30 AM

I love it and would buy it. I like the bright batiks best.

buckeyed 03-31-2011 11:35 AM

At first I thought, Yuck!!, but the more I looked at it the more possibilities I saw!
