The first batiks I ever bought were in shades of blue. I used them to make a sweatshirt jacket. I still enjoy looking at that lovely thing. The next ones I got were all in shades of autumn chosen for a specific leaf quilt that I have yet to make. I need a very pale yellow batik and have yet to find one suitable. I guess that's the one thing I dislike about batiks is that they don't come in pale colors very often for use as backgrounds and accents. But I guess you really didn't ask us that, lol!
