Sunken Treasure by Michael Davison -

A new creative voice is making waves! Sunken Treasure marks the debut batik collection by Michael Davison of Michael Quilts, bringing an exciting underwater adventure to Riley Blake Designs. Rich with ocean-inspired color, intricate batik textures, and striking quilt designs, this collection invites quilters to explore the mystery and beauty hidden beneath the sea.

Inspired by the treasures that lie below the surface, Sunken Treasure features a sophisticated palette of deep navy, aqua, teal, sandy neutrals, rich browns, and golden yellows. Each batik evokes the feeling of drifting through underwater ruins, where compasses, anchors, shells, bubbles, and weathered artifacts tell stories waiting to be discovered.
