I usually do NOT mix batiks with regulars cottons. Even though I prewash my fabrics they are still not as tight of a weave as the batiks are and blocks are often uneven!
I also love to see the colors of the batiks by themselves!
Intersesting! I am a fairly new quilter and I love batks, I use them very often with other fabrics and don't notice any problems (well, more than usual,lol), I love the texture batiks add to other fabrics in a quilt. I too prewash all of my fabrics.
