Fabric Collection
Sylvan Dusk Batiks is a batik quilting cotton collection sold through Connecting Threads, with 20 prints available from $10.96. Designs include Plumage, Whispers, Spiral Dots, Candytuft, Paisley, Labyrinth, Frangipani, Broken Tile, and Whirlpool, mostly in purples from lilac to midnight plus evergreen and soft cornsilk yellow.
Batiks bring that mottled, hand-dyed depth no flat print can fake, and Sylvan Dusk leans into twilight colors — lilac, hydrangea, viola, and midnight purples, cooled with evergreen and warmed with a soft cornsilk. The motifs (paisleys, spirals, frangipani) melt into the dye, so they read as texture and movement.

The line is anchored in purples — lilac, freesia, hydrangea, viola, and deep midnight — with evergreen green and soft cornsilk yellow as companions. Motifs include paisley, spiral dots, labyrinth, and frangipani designs.
Not harder — different. Batiks are tightly woven, which means crisp piecing and minimal fray; use a fresh needle, and press well. Their mottled color also hides seams and quilting wobbles kindly.
Add it to your stash or tag it in a project so other quilters can see it in action.
