I'm not a fan of batik. I don't like the way they handle. I've worked with them a bit, but I can't see myself using them in a full bed size quilt. I know I'm in the minority in this group.
I do like the look of bargellos, but not the super duper swishy ones, and I'm not a fan of the modern Kaffee Fasset either. It's like there's too much stimulation going on for my head.
