Do you get any fabric catalogs in the mail? Keepsake Quilting catalog is my favorite; it is chockful of pictures of gorgeous quilts, many of them using batiks. That would be a start for you. If you do not get the catalog and would like to, you can go to their website and either request it by e-mail or call their 800 telephone # which is listed on their home page. I think, too, they have a few free patterns that you can download, some ideal for batiks. There are also some fabulous looking batik quilts amongst the QB photos that you might find using the Search feature.
