Lakesidequilter, I love your color choices. Beautiful! When I started buying batiks back in the 70s they looked very different from today's batiks and they cost an outrageous $4 a yard. A lot of money back then! Here is a vest made of batiks bought in 1974.

If you love batiks let me know about your project. I just love new inspiration.

Love the quilt, can't imagine it in any fabrics other than batiks. I too am a huge fan of batiks, if a shop doesn't have a good selection of them I'm very disappointed. Not even going to attempt to say how many batik fabrics I have!

I have been slowly collecting batiks for the past few months. I'm considering doing a D9P with them. I thought if I did a black center (which would be cut in fourths) it would help unify as I have a wide variety of colors. I showed my fabrics to a non quilter, and she got a very funny look on her face. Will this end up being too wild? Do I need to stick with just a few colors? I have some deep tones and also a couple very lights...Any suggestions? I love looking at all your batik quilts!
