My $5 batik charm pack was the basis for this easy, beginner friendly quilt design. I wanted to make the border interesting and unique. What do you think?
In my March 29, 2018 post, I asked you, our readers, which color(s) would work best with my batik charm squares. The vote tallies were equally split between the lime green and the navy…so why not use both?
The green is Moda Grunge Basics Key Lime and the blue is Wilmington Essentials Crackle Navy. This strong, dramatic color combination is a show stopper when combined with the batiks. I’m already thinking picnics, porch swings, sunset watching on the beach, naps on the couch…the possibilities are endless!
