The collection that I was given to work with is Lavendula and it's a beautiful mix of purples and greens. Lavendula will be appearing on your local quilt shop's shelves SOON! Be sure to ask for it at your local quilt shop or request that they talk with an Island Batik rep to order it.
While I'm typically know for my modern traditional pieced quilts, I opted for some raw edge fusible applique to showcase the fabrics. I designed this quilt, aptly named Flutter Away. Since the prints in the collection feature dragonflies, butterflies and birds - all creatures with wings that flutter - the name seemed only appropriate!
Print and PDF patterns will be available soon and I'm giving away 3 patterns as part of the blog hop. Be sure to leave me a comment with your favorite Island Batik collection to be entered to win. I will randomly select the lucky winners on Sunday September 9, 2018.
