Our enewsletter this week featured a free gift to subscribers, our Wide Stripes Batik Lap Quilt pattern — visit our Tutorials page to download your copy! (Don’t receive our enewsletter? Subscribe using the box to the right.)
Created and stitched by Chris Vinh of StitchesnQuilts, this design: fits in with any décor, from modern to traditional, and is quick and easy to put together — we love it!
This beauty was sewn using our Batik Tambal Exclusive Batik. Pictured right, top to bottom, are:
This pattern will be beautiful in whatever colors and patterns you love. But since one of Chris’ great gifts is the ability to pick amazing color and fabric combinations, enjoy the eye candy of the “bundles” she put together of Aborigine-designed fabrics from Australia as she was deciding on fabrics for our example.

To create a lap-size Wide Stripes quilt top requires just one yard each of four fabrics. We do list that if you instead choose 2½ yards of your chosen sashing/border fabric, you can complete a matching pieed backing for your quilt. Because you will have extra fabric left, including a pieced strip of your four fabrics remaining as you cut per our directions, you can create a backing so pretty your quilt is reversible! Look at the back of our sample:
Enjoy making your quilt in the colors and patterns you love best. (And we’d love it if you share photos of your work with us!)
