Is this Large Floral Bali Batik Fabric suitable for quilting?

Yes, it is manufactured using a 130x70 construction with 40s x 40s combed yarns. This tight 100% cotton weave minimizes fraying, holds creases well, and allows needles to pass through smoothly for precision piecing.

How is this authentic Bali batik fabric made?

This fabric is crafted in Pekalongan, Indonesia, using the traditional cap (copper stamp) method. Artisans manually apply hot wax to create the floral stencil borders before hand-dyeing the cotton to create deep watercolor effects.

Is the floral pattern visible on both sides of the fabric?

Yes. Because the dyes are manually applied rather than digitally printed on the surface, the colors penetrate completely through the cotton fibers, making the fabric vibrant and usable on both sides.

Will the colors on this hand-dyed batik fabric bleed or fade?

We use high-quality commercial dyes that are colorfast. However, as with all authentic hand-dyed textiles, we recommend machine washing cold without bleach and washing dark colors separately to ensure longevity.

Can I purchase this floral batik fabric by the yard or wholesale?

Yes, we accommodate both retail and B2B wholesale buyers. We offer standard cuts by the yard, pre-cut quilting squares, and wholesale roll/box packing with a capacity of up to 100,000 yards per order.

What projects are best suited for overlapping big bloom batik?

The large-scale botanical print is highly versatile. It is excellent for quilt backings, statement quilt blocks, tropical resort apparel, sarongs, tote bags, and vibrant home decor accents like table runners.

Large Floral Bali Batik Fabric: Hand-Dyed 100% Cotton

This Large Floral Bali Batik Fabric is authentically hand-stamped and hand-dyed in Pekalongan, Indonesia, featuring 100% premium combed cotton ideal for professional textile artists and designers. Offering a stunning overlapping big bloom quilting fabric design with distinct watercolor backgrounds, this original batik fabric is available by the yard, in custom pre-cuts, or wholesale rolls to meet your specific manufacturing demands.

The Heritage and Artisanal Craftsmanship of Ambologo

Sourcing genuine textiles requires a manufacturing partner with deep, established roots. Operating directly from Pekalongan, Indonesia—globally recognized as the World’s City of Batik—our family enterprise has produced premium-grade textiles for generations. The Ambologo brand heritage traces back to our grandfather in the 1930s, evolving into formal, large-scale factory operations by 1960. Since 2010, we have successfully exported our authentic hand-dyed floral batik by the yard to global markets, ensuring reliable quality and steady supply chains for international buyers, boutique designers, and large-scale retailers.

This specific design utilizes the traditional cap (copper stamp) technique. Skilled Javanese artisans manually apply hot liquid wax to the cotton using intricately formed metal blocks, which require immense precision to align correctly. This wax application forms the exact stencil-like borders of the floral motif. Because each yard is processed manually by human hands rather than automated digital printers, every single bolt yields a one-of-a-kind piece. The applied wax resists the subsequent dye baths, creating the sharp, highly defined outlines of the Indonesian large flower batik print.

Visual Profile: A Masterclass in Manual Dyeing

The structural beauty of this multicolor botanical batik cotton fabric lies in its complex visual depth. Rather than a flat, uniform background typical of mass-produced textiles, the manual hand-dyeing process generates striking watercolor effects and organic color transitions across the fabric’s surface. A common question among textile enthusiasts is how to identify authentic batik print fabric. The answer is dye penetration; our manual process ensures the dyes absorb deeply through the core of the yarn, making the fabric fully reversible with vibrant color on both sides.

Across our production line, this overlapping motif is executed in several distinct color palettes to suit diverse design requirements:

Vibrant Rainbow: Highly saturated splashes of magenta, emerald green, bright yellow, and purple blend seamlessly across the background, ideal for high-energy projects.
Sepia Earth Tones: Warm autumnal browns, muted woodland greens, and soft reds create a grounded, rustic aesthetic.
Silver and Olive: A sophisticated neutral palette combining cool metallic greys with muted olive browns for contemporary minimalist designs.
Dark Jewel Tones: Deep, moody oceanic teals, dark emeralds, and rich browns offer high contrast for dramatic, statement pieces.
Tropical Green-Yellow: Lush chartreuse, emerald, and navy accents that serve as a perfect tropical batik fabric for summer-themed collections.

Why Textile Artists and Quilters Prefer This Material

When constructing quilts using batik fabric, the structural integrity of the raw cotton is just as important as the visual design. We manufacture this material using a strict 130×70 construction with 40s x 40s combed yarns. This specific industrial specification yields a high thread count that is remarkably smooth to the touch while maintaining a highly stable weave. The high-density combed cotton ensures the fabric does not fray easily when cut into small blocks or bias strips, allowing for exact precision piecing. Furthermore, the fine yarn profile allows a sewing machine needle to punch through multiple layered seams effortlessly without dulling.

Beyond quilting, this Bali batik fabric by the yard offers an exceptional drape for apparel manufacturing. Designers frequently utilize this material for boutique shirts, sarongs, resort wear, costumes, and children’s clothing, often applying it as a premium, artistic alternative to standard hawaiian batik fabric.

Fabric Care Instructions

Crafters frequently ask how to care for heavily dyed natural fibers. To maintain the integrity of the dyes and the softness of the combed cotton, we recommend specific care protocols. Machine wash cold without bleach. Because this is an authentic hand-dyed product featuring highly concentrated pigments, always wash dark colors separately to prevent any residual dye transfer. Tumble dry on a low heat setting and remove the fabric promptly from the dryer to minimize wrinkling and protect the fiber structure.
