Beach Glass Quilts: Why We Love Batiks


With the nip in the air, it may feel like the beach days are gone for the year. But we have the magic of fabric!

Create a beach glass quilt with these soft chambrays and batiks. 
Stonewashed blues, dappled sandy browns, and delicate washed greys will make you think your on the beach, instead of cuddling under your quilt with a cup of cocoa. They remind me of the softened colors of beach glass.


Here's a lovely range of browns with two chambrays and that great purple accent.
Or we can pick up the blues  of the lake. Batiks give us so much choice.






Batiks give us a range of colors that, because they're a mixed range, give us versatility. They work and play well with others. Especially on the beach.

And the range in sizes separates these prints from each other visually in a way that makes it easy to design a great quilt even with the simplest of patterns.

Pick up some great batiks and chambrays, and you can be cuddling under them all winter long, dreaming of the beach.
