O.K. I'm in for this one too! I'm a newbie and just finished my Black/white/bright blocks. I just discover Batiks and fell in love with them! When I went into the LQS and asked for "BA- TICKS" They laughed at me. I didn't know that they were pronounced "BA-TEEKS". Certain LQS's I avoid when they can't accommodate a customer. Do we tell you the pattern, color choices, etc?
