I would like very much to see pictures of your work with Batiks. I am in the process of getting some and I need ideas for projects.

These are the first ones I am thinking of getting.

Almost all of my quilts are made with batiks.

I love your choices! I've used both prints in blues/greens. Here are a couple of mine. I do have some marbles mixed in, but these are mostly batiks.

Love all the quilts!1 I am just now starting to collect them, Think I want to do a Ohio Star with Purples

joeyoz 01-24-2010 03:00 PM

katier825, I love the Star quilts. What is the pattern? Would love to make that one.

kd124 01-25-2010 11:44 PM

All are beautiful. I especially like Katier825's houses, chele's second one and Karla's.

By the way Karla, is the first left overs from the Kayaking on the Lake quilt.

Wow I'm definitely watching this thread - these are beautiful! :-D

barnbum 01-26-2010 02:22 AM

Miss Treated--that block one is the prettiest one I have ever seen. It looks almost magical--like it belongs to Santa. :-D Wow!

kd124--no, it's actually the other way around... there are leftovers from the first (it's small) in Kayaking.

I love batiks. You guys made beautiful quilts with them.
Here is a simple pattern made with only 3 1/2 by 2 inch rectangles.

Katrine 01-26-2010 08:05 AM

Ooo Cande, that black one is special, I absolutely love it and keep going back to look at it!
Has everyone noticed how much more black is being used lately, and to fantastic effect in everything...
I think we are all "playing" much more with colours and effects. Great isn't it?!

Katrine 01-26-2010 08:07 AM

I'm going to run out of words here, but all of these are stunning and the colours amazing.

I have no idea what HTS stands for! I saw one like this on some site, loved it and saved the picture. I don't know how much cardboard I went through before I got templates made that would work for the pattern! I love the way the black sets off the colors.

Boston1954 01-26-2010 07:37 PM

All of these quilts you have shown me are absolutely fantastic! Thank you all so much for letting me see them. There are so many wonderful prints. I would love to have about $700.00 to spend. Will just have to wait for tax time...... :lol:

Half square triangles - I am still learning all the lingo.

Here is my batik. I am currently working on a mystery quilt that utilizes the prettiest batiks, will post a pic when finished.
