About a year ago, I won a package of fabrics from a local charity auction. This set was a thick “layer cake” which included over one hundred of the 1895 Bali Handpaints Batik fabrics.

I love these fabrics, they are beautiful to look at, all of the colors of the rainbow.
After I arriving home with prize, I decided to sort them into the base colors. In doing so, I realized that they would make a lovely quilt with the fabrics sorted into their respective color groups.
Using my EQ7 program, I started playing around with some ideas I had, looking for a design that would show off the gradations of the colors.

The block I settled on is a modified and simplified version of the Shooting Star Block.

By removing some seams and changing the coloring, I achieved a design that looked like intertwined ribbons.
Time to start sewing!
