Why Batiks Blossom Horizon Collection is unique?
This hand-dyed look of batik fabric can't be matched by the standard cotton prints used in quilt making. The Blossom Batiks Horizon collection has a wide range of vibrant rich colors, delicate tonal changes and intricate printing patterns. These kinds of fabrics are used in the City Blooms pattern to provide a bold contrast to a structured, scrappy pieced background. The design features sleek, vertical, strip-pieced rows combined with beautiful floral elements, appliqued with fusible web and stitched with your favorite decorative or zig zag stitch, and it incorporates urban architecture and blooming nature into one cohesive masterpiece.
This pattern is an intermediate level pattern, which is an excellent way to practice precision cutting and strip-piecing alignment, as well as raw-edge or fusible applique techniques with confidence.
