About this Product
These directions are perfect If you already have a stash of batiks and are just interested in learning how to sew this type of art quilt.
Fabric requirements for a 6" x 12" quilt and general directions (including pictures) for the two quilts shown are included. I have included a separate PDF with all the images associated with making this art quilt. I separated the files to help save toner; you can print the directions out and view the images on your computer.
You can reach out to me if you need a few fabrics added to your stash in order to make your new art quilt perfect. I will put together a fabric bundle for you and create a new custom listing. 2 oz. of fabric (approximately 8 - 10 strips) will be an additional $4.99 per color. Most of the strips are 2.5" high; the length varies for each piece.
There is no pattern available.

Various batiks or fabric of your choice
Sewing machine
Walking foot
Rotary cutter
Cutting mat
Iron and ironing board
A variety of threads to match the fabrics in the quilt

"Absolutely loved! Packaged really well, instructions clear and great communication with the seller. Would buy again!"
"When I saw this print, I just could not pass it up!! I had some questions about sizes and the owner of this shop was very helpful and responded very quickly. It was shipped quickly and arrived in perfect condition. I have glass to fit my kitchen table, I used this round table topper in between the glass and the wood. It adds the perfect touch!!!"
"Beautiful!! I love the color combinations of the batik fabrics! Thanks for sharing your talent with others."
"This is so nicely made. It is gorgeously composed and well-crafted with care and pride. Even the hanging hardware and label are perfectly done. Thank you! I am so happy with my beautiful purchase."
"This is much more gorgeous than the pictures because of the delightful color combinations and particularly the delicate touches of orange. It is a perfect addition to my collection."
How it’s Made
These are the same directions that I include with my kits with the addition of a list of fabrics that you will need to complete a 6” x 12” quilt.
I take pictures as each quilt progresses showing you different ways the next strip could have been sewn on to change the look and feel of your quilt. These pictures are included as a separate pdf file that is included with your purchase. This allows you to print out the directions and save toner if you don’t want to print the pictures.
You can always send me an email or contact me through the Goimagine messaging system and I will be happy to help you and answer any questions you have.

The basics
I have found that creating an original art quilt takes time. Plan on 5 - 6 weeks; more for larger sizes. The amount of detail will also add to the time it takes. I will have a better idea once we have discussed what you are looking for and will provide you with a time estimate and approximate start date.
The largest size I can do as one panel/quilt is 40” square. Larger sizes will be broken up into multiple panels.
Once we have talked and determined the details of your art quilt I will send you a quote spelling out the details of your order. Upon acceptance of that quote I will create a custom listing for you for the initial deposit. This deposit is non-refundable should you cancel the order. Changes or additions to the original quilt design (as described in the quote and deposit listing) may result in additional charges to you and will be due as part of the final payment. The final amount will be due upon completion of the quilt and before it is shipped.
Please note: Quilts that contain subject matter that is so specific to you that they can't be sold to anyone else will require a 100% non-refundable deposit before work is started.
Returns and exchanges
I do not accept returns on sale items and custom orders.
For all other items please contact me within 2 days of delivery. The item must be shipped back to me via Priority mail, or something comparable to how it was shipped to you, within 5 days of delivery.
Conditions of return
Buyers are responsible for return shipping costs. If the item is not returned in its original condition, the buyer is responsible for any loss in value. Your refund will be issued once I have received your item(s) and determined their condition.
