On today's menu is "Tequila Sunset" you can find the whole line here at Island Batik
Today I am giving away 4 fat quarters...trust me I was squealing like a stuck pig when I was cutting these up. It is so hard to give these lovelies away but just leave a comment and tell me why you love batiks.
Here is another easy project. Instead of Tequila Sunset, the sun is rising....so Goooood Morn'n
Gooood Morn'n
I love batiks because they are beautiful colors and not a pattern.
ReplyDeleteHi!!!!! I love the sun morn!!!! I like batiks because the colors make movement that are more natural than just shapes....if that makes any sense!!!!! Thanks for the fun!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat yellow and blue are so pretty! I love Island Batiks, too. The colors are rich, and the dying process makes them have such depth of color. I can't wait to see all that Island Batiks is offering at Market.

When I read "Morn'N" I heard DDebbie Reynolds from "Singing in the Rain". ;) batiks are a favorite, of course, each and every one is OOAK. :)
ReplyDeleteThe colors are so brilliant! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBatiks are so rich and have so much depth of color that they are hard to resist. Now I have Debbie Reynolds stuck in my head.
ReplyDeleteWhy do I love batiks? That's easy! They are the sexiest fabrics in the world!!!!! If fabrics were movie stars, batiks would be Marilyn Monroe and John Wayne - megastars!!! When you use batiks in a quilt, you know you are going to end up with something beautiful, irregardless of the design :)
ReplyDeleteLove these vibrant batiks! But then again...I love batiks!
ReplyDeleteI love batiks because of the variety of color and the variation that they give. Just another handmade appeal to a handmade project. Just love it...

ReplyDeleteI love batiks because the colors are so vibrant and they are two sided.
ReplyDeleteGood morning to you too. I just used up my stash of batiks on my "Batik Jewels" quilt so now I need to start buying again.
ReplyDeleteI love batiks because they come in such great colors!
ReplyDeleteI love batiks because they are different. The colors are beautiful and i really love the swirls on Tequila Sunset.
ReplyDeleteWow! I don't think I've ever used batiks, but I would love to give them a try!
ReplyDeleteI love batiks because you can use them in so many different ways. My husband wants me to make a quilt for him he designed. He walked in while I was sorting my fabric and saw the Batiks and told me that was what he wanted me to use in his quilt - LOL

I LOVE Batiks. They are vibrant, or pale, and abstract. I LOVE that they are abstract.
ReplyDeleteI love batiks. they blend so well with so many things.
ReplyDeleteI love batiks because from one cut of the fabric you can get so many different colors and patterns to use. I love using them for applique because they don't fray. I also love them because they are so beautiful! Thanks for being willing to part with some beautiful batiks! K-
ReplyDeleteBatik is very common in my part of the world but it is totally different to what you are showing! very popular with the tourists though.
ReplyDeleteThe colours first and foremost, followed by how much denser the fabric is. Which makes I find making patchwork more accurate.
ReplyDeleteBatiks my favorite fabric! Can already see a quilt design using these!

I love batiks because they have such depth of colour!
ReplyDeleteBoth my husband and I love the looks of batiks. I love working with them and have quite a few in my stash. Once I finish a few more projects I plan on working some pieced hexies with them.

I love them because they are almost always rich in color and visual texture. There is also no "wrong side" so the odd scraps are a bit more versatile.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabrics and what a fun project you are working on Barb!
ReplyDeleteThe colors, textures, visions and and and. It would be easier to tell you why I don't like Batiks rather then why. LOL that answer would be easy,,,,,,are you crazy, I love Batiks. Thanks for a beautiful giveaway.
ReplyDeleteBatiks are great because the colors are so vibrant, you can use either side, the don't ravel, I could go on.

Batiks are my favorite. Our local LQS carries over 1,000 bolts of batiks. I am so spoiled. I just ignore the rest of the store. There's so much variety with batiks. What's not to love about them?
ReplyDeleteI love batiks for their rich saturated colours, for their wonderful hand, finer weave, and having no right or wrong side.
ReplyDeleteI love batiks because one piece can have a lot of color variation and they have a feeling of depth. I also like that they don't fray.
ReplyDeleteWow, those are gorgeous! I love batiks because you can use either side, the colors are vibrant and because they sing to me!! Just sew yummy
ReplyDeletebeautiful bright colors and a scrappy look
ReplyDeleteI love Batiks because they seem to go with anything...
ReplyDeleteI love the blues and yellows. So bright, rich, and happy feeling, just like getting up on a summer morning. Batiks are one of my favorites because The dying process makes for beautiful, bright color, right from nature. I also love the texture and they're so easy to work with and make any project jump out at you. Don't feel bad about cutting the fabric. I'm sure the quarters will find a good , loving home. Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteI use batiks almost exclusively as I love the texture and depth they add to art quilts. Love to put these into my next quilt!

ReplyDeleteMost what I love about batiks is their colors. They are just so gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI love making hexies with batiks. I like how the colors blend into the next color. It's also nice when the color goes all throughout and you can't tell the front from the back.
ReplyDeleteBatik prints remind me of sunshine and festivity, they stimulate a carefree enjoyable time.
