Here is a close up of what the two flowers look like.
And a shot from the back.
For the middle column I'm going to quilt some butterflies. When I first went looking for butterfly patterns I didn't find anything very interesting on any of the quilting sites, pretty basic designs. I then decided to do a Google search on butterflies and I discovered that the Tattoo world has some very interesting designs. I was just looking for some unique outlines so I took some of the interesting tattoo designs and modified them into butterfly outlines. Below are some examples of the original tattoo designs and then the modified outlines. I think they will make for some interesting quilting.

Your batik quilt is absolutely beautiful ! The butterflies you found are wonderful, what an ingenious idea. As an aside, Quilting Creations also has dozens of birds and butterfly stencils in case you want to take a look: http://www.quiltingcreations.com/index.php?cPath=43
Those flowers really pop on the orange and all those butterflies that you turned into outlines are really pretty.
Beautiful! Never thought to use tattoo art as inspiration for quilting. Great idea!
