- - Two of my batik quilts (https://www.quiltingboard.com/pictures-f5/two-my-batik-quilts-t101136.html)

I've been reading (and offering my perspective) the threads on batik fabric and why some do and some don't like them. I'm a very visual person; give me written instructions with pictures and I'll follow the pictures more than the words. Batiks give me so much more with the way they can convey a message in the movement of the colors or the color themselves.

The first quilt is all batiks - even the background and the backing.

The second is a wall hanging that is all batiks but the black. I added stick-on sequins and stars. The fabric on the pumpkin body is batik with a silver metallic spatter spray on top.

Gorgeous!

Can't decide which one I like better, both!

The stars are fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D

Really pretty both of them. Your bats hanging is prettier than the pattern I've seen. Nice work.

Love them both! Does the star pattern have a name?

Both of these quilts are so nice. Great work. Just beautiful.

OHHHH Love the dancing with bats!!!! Both are nice but I love the unusual!

Gorgeous! Both of them! I haven't used any Batiks yet, but hope to in the future. You're an inspiration!
