I'll give it a try.
lacelady, I am experimenting with a Batik but the fabric doesn't even absorb the bleach. Did I chose the wrong fabric as Batiks seem to be more tightly woven?
I had to try several, some didn't work well, perhaps they were more resistant. The little tiny flowers ,just dots really, I did with bleach cleaner from my kitchen, and a very small artists brush so that I could control it. We had quite a discussion on the board, because here and in the UK we have two types of bleach for cleaning, one is runny like water, and the other is gloopy, they call it thick bleach. I used the gloopier one, it's literally like egg white, and it was after that I got the bleach pen, courtesy of Flossy who found it on ebay. Perhaps you just need to experiment a bit. Some colours I tried didn't bleach to white, but more to a yellow colour.
Inspired choice of fabrics, Candace - I am looking forward to seeing your quilt!
