WINDHAM FABRICS - Iris Beauty de Jacqueline de Jonge - Batik - Folhas tropicais - Alfazema - K95293-

The batik texture on this tropical leaves print gives it a lovely hand for piecing, and it pressed flat without any fuss. I’ve already used it in a lap quilt, and the soft lavender adds just the right calm note to the overall design.

The lavender colorway is so much softer and more muted in person than on screen, and the batik surface has that lovely waxy feel that irons flat without any shifting. I'm already planning a second cut because the tropical leaves pattern is dense enough to fussy-cut for small quilt blocks.

The batik texture gives these tropical leaves a lovely depth that photos don't fully capture, and the lavender is soft enough to work with a wide range of quilt palettes. Cut a half-yard for a throw project and the drape felt just right for piecing.
