The next Quilt I'm making is going to be a kite quilt. Now I don't know if I want to make it with Batiks or Orientals or both. I only have a few of each. I keep giving it away. So I have to start to collect them again. Anyone have any ideas?

You quilt idea sounds great. Are you going to be using blocks or doing it more like a landscape quilt? I haven't used any oriental fabric so not sure how it looks. Why don't you lay the fabrics you have out and see what you think?

I usually don't put batiks with "ordinary" quilting fabrics because I feel the batiks are more tightly woven -
Do you plan to machine or hand quilt the piece?
Some of the ladies in my group say that hand quilting batik fabrics is a lot more difficult that the "regular" quilting fabrics.
