Inkling ~ Twin Quilt!

This quilt gives you an idea of how the 24 fabrics in Painted Patchwork "play" together! This is a quilt that can easily be reduced or enlarged to the size you prefer.
Ring Around the Posies!

This wreath of flowers is made using a Jelly Roll or 2 1/2" strips in patchwork and stitch and flip corners for this 64 x 64" quilt. The flowers are made in 4 equal units that are rotated around the center, leaving a lovely place to sew decorative quilting in the center.
Two Colorways Within the Collection!

These two Bouncing Borders quilts show how a subset of the collection can be made to feature each colorway.
Town Square!

Look closely ~ this is a fast and easy way to use a panel or a fabric you just bring yourself to cut! In this case, the middle of the quilt is taken from the Painted Patchwork digital print, then blocks are added all around. Its easy block construction turns a panel (could be any panel or focal fabric) into a lap quilt (approximately 60in x 60in).
Bundles Available!

If you aren't sure what you'd like to make, you can't go wrong with these 24 piece bundles ~ available in Fat Quarters, half-yards and yards!

Calling all Deb Tucker Fans!

Deb Tucker's Studio 180 rulers are favorites for many of us. I remember being so thrilled after finding her Wing Clipper rulers many years ago. I could never make decent flying geese until then.

Deb has added many new rulers over the years and is now also designing BOM programs for island Batik, which of course, take advantage of the rulers she's designed.

Fair Isle ~ What a Stunning Quilt!
What's Included in the Program?

Our program includes all the original Island Batik fabrics as shown above, as well as a boo-boo bundle of extra fabric, binding, coordinating backing, and our famous cutting diagrams!

There are several Deb Tucker Studio 180 rulers required, which we can supply if you don't already have them.
