"Acrobatik: Batik Beauty" by Judy Martin

 

 

 

 
   
  "Acrobatik: Batik Beauty" (66.5 by 85 inches, 1999) was designed and pieced by Judy Martin and quilted by Jean Nolte. This pretty quilt gets its nontraditional look from seven contemporary prints (including several batiks) from Hoffman, Benartex, and Moda. Its dimensional quality comes from the use of two shades each of lilac, purple, and khaki. The pinwheels are quilted with slender ferns. The batting is Hobbs organic cotton. Complete instructions for this quilt are included in The Creative Pattern Book (Crosley-Griffith Publishing Company, Inc., 2000). Photo by Brian Birlauf.
