Quilting your Legacy Monthly Challenge is Bali & Batik Fabrics 

 

I believe this is our second time doing this challenge, and I LOVE IT! I love seeing what you create with watercolor-like fabrics. 

 

Batik fabrics are a form of fabric artwork, and it's usually made on textiles, which relies heavily on patterns and masking dyes and inks.

 

The batik is a technique for decorating textiles, by which parts of the material that are not to be colored are covered in molten wax. The wax prevents the fabric from absorbing the dye during the decorating process, which can be more than one vibrant color showing on the material. 

 

The word batik is of Indonesian origin and is related to a Malay word for dot or point, "titik" and the Javanese word "amba," meaning" to write."

 

📣Can you mix Bali fabrics with traditional cotton fabric prints? 

There is an interesting debate if you can mix the two different fabrics. My option is simple; sometimes. But thoughtfully, most of the time, gorgeous combines the other materials because the Bali fabric enchants the printed fabric.  

 

Here are my projects ideas:

 

• Couch Quilt using bright Bali fabrics
• Winter Blues with Cream Background Table Topper
• Color Cat Pattern from Villa Rosa Designs using Bali earth tones

 

When you walk into the Norton House, you'll quickly notice an entire room dedicated to Bali Fabrics. 

  

What could you make for a loved one to enjoy colorful watercolor fabrics?
