These pretty indigo batiks are part of a collection imported from Mali, West Africa, and offered for sale by eQuilter. They were inspired by the traditional fabrics of the Tuareg people, also called the Blue People, because the pigments in their turbans and robes used to run and make their skin blue. Indigo blue turbans are still worn for celebrations. They would be pretty in quilts too.

These are gorgeous!
This new range of African fabrics is inspirational, nice color and prints. They do not seem to be traditionnally dyed, genuine indigo batiks would be much more expensive. Or is it possible ?? Anyway they are very nice and I hope this will be successful so that other fabrics will come !
Gorgeous designs and a fun story!
These are gorgeous!
I love the patterns and the colors of these fabrics. Another must have, I think!
have you fixed the dyes and if so, how?

Lovely! I just love Indigo. This month I restocked all the popular Indigo and White patterns back in my shop.
