New batik fabric line: Morris Tiles!

January 23, 2024January 23, 2024 1 comment

Hi friends,

Today is the IG and blog hop for a new batik fabric Morris Tiles from Island Batik!

The Morris Tiles batik fabric

Morris Tiles is a beautiful batik line designed by Kathy Engle of Island Batik for Tammy Silvers.

The Quilts

I decided to recolor one of my quilts called Breakout using the line and show a few different versions. 

Breakout is a modern log cabin pattern and I happen to be the pattern in a class this coming weekend for the CQC guild here in Colorado!

In the first 2 images, I show the quilt with a light background and the softer side of the teals and peachy colors. The first setting is one I have used a lot with this quilt; I just really like it!

The second setting is also fun!

In these next 2 images I switched just the background and used one of the darker teals – bold and dramatic!

Are you a light background quilter or a dark background quilter?

Now a couple more images of  quilts using the light background but with slightly deeper teal and peachy colors in 2 new, different arrangements!

A fun way to show the versatility of the blocks!

    The new fabrics are delightful. I am really excited by the light and dark versions of the quilt. I make a lot of baby quilts but make larger ones for Quilts of Valour. (Although Canadian, I have a US address!)
