You can do just about any pattern in batiks. I've been collecting for a few years a 1/2 yd here a yd there and one 15 min. trip to Keepsake Quilting for the background batik (husband was rushing me to get on the Mt. Washington for a trip around Winepesaukee. I made it in time. It has to remain a UFO for a while until I finish quilt for son and DIL. Hope my son still likes it after picking out the fabric 4 or 5 years ago. Guilty of procrastination, plus finding the pattern and all the fabric for an"Egyptian Quilt". Will let you know when it gets off the UFO list.
