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.
Wow! Just a bit stunning!

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 !
ReplyDeleteGorgeous designs and a fun story!
ReplyDeleteI love the patterns and the colors of these fabrics. Another must have, I think!
ReplyDeletehave you fixed the dyes and if so, how?
