The first and last two photos are ones that I took and the third photo is the manufacturers thumbnail image. This is a reference to show the variations in the batik colors. The second photo is the view looking at the fabric as wrapped on the bolt and not WOF. If you’re unsure about the true color, please contact me directly. I’m happy to help.
The latest bolt of this beautiful fabric is more pastel than it appears in the last three photos. The tones are softer and include turquoise blue, banana yellow, indigo, plum purple, fuchsia pink, grape purple, shamrock/lime green, teal green, and a melded brownish color where some of the colors run into each other. This is a gorgeous fabric in person!
The last two photos are examples of a quilt that I made using this fabric. The last photo shows the backing (same fabric as in the border) showing through the front of the white quilt background with sunlit backlighting – making a stained glass effect.Â
The actual fabric looks like the first two photos and is not as dark or as saturated in color as the third photo shows. The fabric is light and almost pastel. The background contains denim turquoise blue, cold purples, warm purples, muted mauve pinks and light dark-dusty blue colors. The dots on top have a mix of mint green/blue, chartreuse green/yellow, turquoise, off white and sometimes a tan/yellow color.
The actual fabric appears closest to the first two photos and is not as teal green or as muddy as the last photo shows. There are areas of lime green, cold and warm purple and medium and dark turquoise blue with gray color where the areas meld together. The Aboriginal snake design on top is in the same/lighter color scheme.
NOTE: This fabric has white streaks throughout it about every 1/2-yard. Some of it lightens when water is used to remove these areas, but it doesn’t disappear entirely. This may be a detergent that was used during the batik making process. Please be away that this is will likely be present on fabric that is purchased. See lighter/white streak that runs through the middle of the first two photos.
