Batik quilting fabric has a hand-dyed, mottled look with rich color and movement — options here include the Sylvan Dusk Batiks and Icy Embers Batiks lines, plus batik wide backing. There are 34 batik options here from $10.96, with buy links included.
Batiks are the jewel box of quilting cotton — densely woven, richly colored, and mottled so no two inches look quite the same. Here are the batik lines gathered together, from soft dusk tones to icy brights.

Batiks are dyed with a wax-resist process that leaves a mottled, hand-made look, and they're woven more tightly than most quilting cotton — which means crisp piecing and less fraying.
Not harder, just a little different — the tight weave holds a sharp point well but can be firmer under the needle. A fresh sharp needle keeps it smooth.
Their depth and movement make batiks perfect for landscapes, watercolor-style quilts, and anywhere you want rich color without a defined print.
Add it to your stash or tag it in a project so other quilters can see it in action.
