many of today's fabrics- including batiks are very different from what they were 20 years ago. I have quilts made from non- batik cotton fabrics from the 90's that also have holes & frays. The quality of the fabric is not as good as it is today. I have some wonderful, high quality batiks and some much older - not so great ones- they have come a long way.
