  2. Well done! It turned out fabulously and yep – looks like fireworks. I love the little peek of the blocks on the side edges.

    LOVE it! I love batiks and what you said about your background fabrics is why I love them. Your dark fabrics have life because they aren't flat like a solid would be. Great job all round. Who knows you may just sway some non-believers over to the batik dark side!

    That's awesome! I instantly thought of fireworks when I saw the first photo before reading the details. Really, awesome, you are going blow my mind with all your fabulousness!

    Gorgeous Molli! This is a fantastic use of batiks – and I love the use of the dark fabrics as the sky.

    I struggle to like batiks but your quilt is gorgeous. It works so well – I like the texture and depth the batiks give it.

    I'm not a batiks kind of girl but you make that shit look gooooood!

    Yay! I loooooove this! 🙂

    Have you thought is using silver thread to quilt it? Talk about sparkle, your piecing is perfection! You've outdone yourself

    I haven't realized untill now that it's actually made out of hexagons. You found a good balance between those fully looking (same colors) and those kind of single looking. Well done with your fabric choice! And those points! Sparklastic! lol

    Very very nice. I generally don't like Batiks that much, but yours looks great. I love the dark background it really makes the colors pop… I bet this quilt is even more fab in person.

    Stunning! But I wouldn't have expected anything else. 🙂

  20. Gorgeous! I love the batiks!

  21. Katy Cameron says:

    It looks great, and when I scroll down it kind of swirls, which is extra cool…

    I love batiks, but haven't known how to use them in a lively fashion; you sure nailed it! The varied, shaded background is a stroke of genius. Fabulous!

  23. Love how you used the batiks. I struggle with batiks but you have shown me there is a way to make them sparkle.

  24. i was thinking: "fireworks" and then you said "fireworks". soul sisters. this looks AMAZING! amazing. thanks for showing how batiks can rock it.

  25. Very modern usage of batiks! Knew it could be done.

  26. Jenny says:

    It's really, really pretty. So pretty.

  27. Sam says:

    Wow, it's amazing!

  28. It's great to see this one finished! Love the sparkle against the darker background. Well done! 🙂

    Beautiful! Really beautiful! I don't think those lovely batiks would have worked with a white background. You picked some great background fabrics.

    Fabulous quilt and very inspiring with the batiks being displayed in such a large format – can't wait to see the whole quilt finished.

  32. Oh, two things I love: SCRAPPY AND BATIKS- and you put them together! Your fireworks look great- I wish I could see them sparkle in real life! I love it.

    Thanks for linking up!
