Baby Batik - Friends expecting their first child wanted a non-traditional baby quilt in mainly greens and browns. I was stumped until I remembered the batiks I'd been collecting for a few years, and realized they would be the perfect choice. I started with the fabric appearing in the large block and incorporated all those colors. Rather than centering the focal fabric, I chose to set it in the middle of the lower row and create a color wash around it. I'd originally planned to use just the one border fabric in mottled green/brown/yellow, but it looked too blah next to the green sashing, so I added the yellow/orange/pink between to add a pop of color.
