It looks like a batik I just purchased for a quilt featured in Batiks and Beyond by Laurie J. Shifrin called Twinkle Toes. It is used for a wide border and the three major colors are accents placed on a lime green center It makes for a real "WOW" quilt. If you don't like lime, there are other colors in your swatch that can be used. Enjoy!

I'm glad that Jillaine posted this. We just got a new bolt of it, and when I went to look at it I realized that the colors were not exactly the same as the last bolt. So I've updated the pictures of it.

Anyway... for sure, I would pair it with its friend. Look how nicely they play together!

It would be one of those fabrics that I'd drool over and not use for a long time because it just to pretty to cut! :D :D :D

I would add some light aqua and some lavender and maybe some dark green to make a nine patch

I might would make a 10 minute block with that as 2 blocks apposite each other and 2 other coordinating colors with very little or no pattern to them, then another for the center block.

Is that second one a lot lighter or is it just my computer? I would like to see them side by side to see if they fight or go together. Might make great quilt if used together.
