Luv all the new batiks. Would like to have all of them.

What a beautiful colorful collection! Can’t wait to get my hands on it! Reminds me of skittles.

I just love Batiks and tend to add them to alot of the quilts I make. Such beautiful colors. .

I think what I love most about the batiks are the colors! They also seem to be more flexible so easier to quilt on my domestic sewing machine.

I love the color saturation and feel of batiks.

I love all the fabulous colors in batik fabrics.

A great start to another wonderful IB blog hop. I love seeing all these beautiful projects and reading about the techniques used for construction.

Love the fabrics ❤️

Love the island inspired designs on the batiks

I love the quality of the batik fabric.

I love the vibrant colors of batiks and how beautiful they are to quilt with.

New fabrics are lovely

I love the rich colors and texture of batik fabrics. The fabric hold up to a lot of use.

I love batiks because there is so much variety. You might find one fabric with various shades of the same color, and another fabric might have multiple colors in it. They are fun to mix and match and create unique quilts.

I love the blending of various shades of colors that batik fabrics embody

I love that most batiks are layered in designs. Underneath is multi shades or colors then you get a multi colored stamp design on top. They are reversible. Great colors for the most part.

I love the vibrant colors and the lack of threads all over my studio!

I absolutely in love with Bee Kind colorway. Its stunning. Thanks for allowing me a chance to win.

I love how nice batiks press. They are so sharp and crisp.

I love the feel of batiks and the colors are so beautiful.

I love the colors, feel, and durability of batiks! And the patterns! 😍

I love the rich, intense colors.

I like the abstract nature of batiks. Color, texture and pattern shine!

I like the feel of batik, the colors and designs and how it looks in a quilt.

I love both the hand-made nature of the fabric and the higher thread count.

wow fab fabrics!

Love the color and textures in batik fabrics!

I love how they don’t bleed color.

I love everything about batiks. There is little fraying and no wrong side. The colors are rich and sumptuous. And they just look fabulous in my quilts and other projects!

I love batiks.. batik addict here.ove the tight weave – less raveling. The great designs and saturation of color

Love all the great quilts from last week. The Beehive Buzz I love!!!

Colour, colour, colour! I love the way the colours blend and contrast so beautifully.

I would love to win a fat quarter bundle,
So pretty!!

the colors in all your collections are simply stunning

I love the work that goes into making batik fabric, the many colors and how no two are alike. Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞. Thank you!

love the colors and they make beautiful quilt blocks

I love the colors and the feel of the batiks

Love the fabrics ❤️❤️❤️

What’s not to love about Island Batik? Higher thread count means less fraying and a more durable fabric. The colors are saturated, bright and vibrant, not muddy like some other brands, and the tjaps are fun. Great variety of collections and designs, plus the solids which are the best on the market. It’s all great!

I love the colors, the designs, the feel of the fabric and there’s no right or wrong side.

I’m so in love with your batiks!

Would love to win the Honeycomb. I loved working with the Cheers! But would love to make another quilt.

Beautiful batiks are my favorite!

I love working with batiks! They’re so colorful1

Cheers and Honeycomb look like they’d be fun to play with! Thanks for the opportunity!

Love batiks…
My favorite fabric to work with.

Love the colors, flow of Batiks.

I love the colors and that batiks are the same on both sides.

I love the thread count and soft feel of washed batik fabric. Before washing, the fabric is extremely stable and easy to cut and sew. AND, one can use either side of this beautiful class of fabric.

Yummy colors!

I like the crispness of the fabric, the vibrant colors and less raveling

I truly love Island Batiks above others. The colors are fabulous and the feel after being washed is amazing. When you machine embroider on Island Batiks its a breeze as their fabric has a stability to it which in some cases allows me to use less stabilizer. Love em!

The only thing better than an Island Batik blog hop is actually having them on your cutting table!

Such beautiful colors and possibilities.

All of these quilts are so beautiful. The fabric just shines. I think your ambassadors are very talented!!

I guess I didnt answer the question. I love batiks for all the rich colors that blend so nice together. I also like them because on most there are no front and back to them-same on both sides, Which make batiks great for paper piecing.

My favorite thing about batik fabric is the fine, tightly-woven hand of the fabric.

🙂 Linda

LOVE the warm colors of this bundle!

I love the watercolor effects of Batik, and the sturdiness of the fabric. Thanks for a great blog hop!

So many beautiful quilts! Such gorgeous new fabric. Island Batik is the best. I love using your fabrics because the colours and designs are so perfect. You can always find a perfectly themed fabric for any project and the quality of the fabric is incredible. It sews up wonderfully.
