Batiks are a type of fabric often used in quiltlmaking. They are made by a "resist" process where the designer uses wax to prevent dye from penetrating some areas of the cloth, leaving those areas un-dyed. The process can be repeated many times to create complex designs, using many colors. This process originated in Indonesia and today, most Batik fabric is still made there.
