I am a batik nut I wish I was more computer wise I would post the quilts I have made What I like is the vibrant colors .I am a jewel color nut and I find batiks lend to the use of 100 or more fabrics in a quilt .I also enjoy the fact that there is no wrong side to a good batik.Right now I am using batiks in Carol Doaks mariners compass stars and the quilt on my page is 100 percent batiks A simple quilt pattern out of batiks is the use of wonder blocks on point . I do wash all fabric before using I find I am sensitive to .tHe smell.This may help some.Happy quilting.
