Since the quilts are batik, I am thinking the Bali fabric would be best; however, I am concerned about fading and dye retention in both blacks. Have noticed that all of my dd's black clothing seems to stain everything else black!
Anyway, just wondering if anyone has purchased either one of these blacks and knows how colorfast they are.
I have purchased other fabrics from Keepsake - great quality. I just got 2 yards of solid black from a shop in NY who is a member on the board. Fav Fabrics I think, also got some other fabrics. It's on it's way - snail mail.
Solid black is one color I feel I need to have a couple of yards in my stash at all times as well as white, and rainbow stripe.
They make great borders and binding.
