I would buy it. Probably use lavender/purple with it.

What do you think? Do you like it? Which of the colors in it would you be most likely to try to bring out with coordinating fabrics? The mauve, or the lavender-blue, or the green?

That is stunning. I would get all the colors coordinating. It would make such a serene quilt.

Thea 03-31-2011 07:07 AM

Oh that is just beautiful. I am partial to all batiks. Will that be for sale?

Yes. I just can't pass this one up! It's calling to me too loudly... and you know how that goes!

Timeless Treasures' website indicates that it will be available in late June. It's from a new group called Tonga Gelato.

I like this, I would use the lavender, which is my favorite.

Oh, I love that! It is nice to see a light color batik that is not in the tan line. I love any color in it, log cabin blocks with all the colors and this as some sort of focal. Can't wait for this one :!: :-D

Tawnya's Mom 03-31-2011 07:21 AM

lavendar and green :-)

dorrell ann 03-31-2011 07:25 AM

I love any batik.

Landers 03-31-2011 07:55 AM

I love it. I would use the Green!

OKLAHOMA PEACH 03-31-2011 07:56 AM

Love that fabric.

maryb119 03-31-2011 07:58 AM

It's a beautiful batik!! I would use blue or lavender with it, maybe a pink.

Ilovemydogs 03-31-2011 08:04 AM

I think all three coordinating colors.

bob1414 03-31-2011 08:21 AM

I think people will like it because of the light background.

Spydee 03-31-2011 08:26 AM

I would agree with the suggestion of all three coordinates if possible.

The main fabric is stunning and appealing to a wide range of tastes -- this one is not just for batik lovers .

Fiber Artist 03-31-2011 09:16 AM

Love it!!any color would be good. :thumbup:

scisyb220 03-31-2011 11:57 AM

I can definitely see this with mauves & lavendar/blues! What a stunning batik!! I will watching for this one, I am a batik addict!! :-)

rosalyne 03-31-2011 01:05 PM

All of them as far as I can see. The colors would show up great.

jljack 03-31-2011 01:21 PM

Yes, I like that one....light background with subtle pattern. I would definately buy it!!

paula153 03-31-2011 02:08 PM

This might sound strange, but I would go for a darker colour like navy blue or royal blue..

booklady 03-31-2011 02:11 PM

nice colors

thebossbab 03-31-2011 04:29 PM

Love it....probably most colors I would like!

quiltpd 03-31-2011 05:07 PM

That is beautiful. I would probably hed toward the lavendar and green with a bit of ivory.

leiladylei54 03-31-2011 05:17 PM

I like the fabric print for sure. Mauve, green and lavender all work well with it.

Jan T 03-31-2011 05:21 PM

Light batiks are very hard to find. I think this one will sell like crazy.

katcincinnati 03-31-2011 06:44 PM

Lavender- blues. I really like the fabric.

The Quiet Quilter 03-31-2011 06:51 PM

Beautiful fabric. I'd use the
purples and greens. Hugs, Sharon

meant2be 03-31-2011 07:08 PM

That is a pretty batik. I think any of the colors would work well, I would pick my favorites and go with them. Hope to see your finished project.

Marilynsue 03-31-2011 07:20 PM

Blues and greens would be my choice. Beautiful piece!

BrendaB 03-31-2011 08:45 PM

I love it. I would prefer mauve and/or green. I will order from you when/if you get it if you let me know. :-)

Dani 03-31-2011 09:18 PM

I would use this as background fabric and then use coordinating fabrics for main and secondary patterns. It would also be beautiful as a backing. so many batiks are on the dark side so I love to see this lighter one.

kristen0112 03-31-2011 09:38 PM

I have a batik that has rose pattern on it. It's a really pretty blue color. I LOVE batiks

justlooking 04-01-2011 02:35 AM

Love the fabric, I would bring out the lavendar-blue.

DebsShelties 04-01-2011 02:37 AM

Very pretty fabric

Quilter Carol 04-01-2011 07:29 AM

I love this piece of batik fabric. I agree with the lavendar and greens....a hint of blue could make the blue pop out

LOVE IT the lavender and greens would be my pick....

Stacey 04-02-2011 07:44 PM

This is simply gorgeous. I think I would go for green.
