I too love batiks. Although I have never made a quilt with only batik fabric, i have used them in quilts and for backings. I recently spent $80 on a batik for the back of the quilt I'm making for my bed at the lake featuring the Wind and Waves fabric. the batik had shells and starfish in it. In the future-like hopefully this year-I have plans to make a batik quilt for my DIL(who will be giving me a grandbaby this Sept.) for Christmas. And I would like to make a Bargello wallhanging for my dining room featuring all batiks. LOVE,LOVE, LOVE them!
