Hand-Dyes Batik Fabric Collection - Antique Gold

A touch of old-world richness comes naturally with Antique Gold, whose olive-gold highlights and bronze-brown shading bring depth to your quilting. Pronounced hand-dyed markings recall an aged patina, giving even straightforward patchwork a beautifully timeworn character. Narrow accent strips can introduce just a hint of its golden coloring, while larger pieces reveal the dramatic contrast between light and dark areas. Deep plum and forest green make handsome companions for an earthy palette with an elegant finish.

For best results, machine wash cold on a normal cycle with mild detergent, tumble dry low and remove promptly; Use only non-chlorine bleach. Pre-washing is recommended. *Fabrics are not recommended for children's sleepwear.

*Although we do our best to ensure color accuracy in our fabric images, please note that your screen may produce small variances in color, shade, or hue.

Bring painterly color to quilts, clothing, and home décor with the Hand-Dyes Batik fabric collection by Riley Blake Designs. Each print is made from 100% cotton and measures approximately 44" wide, ready for piecing, appliqué, and larger fabric cuts. Rosy pinks, cherry reds, golden yellows, earthy browns, and fresh greens offer plenty of possibilities for building your own coordinated palette. Without a specific motif or repeating pattern, the shifting shades work beautifully as blenders alongside detailed prints or as the main attraction in a simple design. Try combining several colors in a patchwork throw, or showcase a favorite shade in a handmade top, cushion, or table runner.

Developed through relationships with skilled batik artisans in Indonesia, this collection celebrates the time-honored craft of hand-dyeing. Fabric is scrunched or folded before dye is applied by hand, creating the irregular washes, delicate mottling, and feathered edges that give each color its character. The dye penetrates the fibers for rich saturation, adding visual depth without the need for elaborate piecing. Riley Blake Designs uses high-quality, ethically sourced fabric, bringing traditional artistry to the pieces you sew for everyday use and meaningful gifts. Due to the handcrafted nature of batiks, colors and markings may vary from the image shown.
