I love the look of batiks...BUT BUT BUT... I do not use them on the back of a quilt as they hold very little WARMTH. I had an instructor mention that once, and she was sooo right! I used a beautiful batik on the back of my personal snuggler quilt for chilly nights and that quilt may be pretty...but I HAVE FROZEN under it many times. I made my hubby a snuggler quilt out of all flannels, same size, same batting BUT a flannel back and the difference is amazing. His quilt is like a TOASTER.
My wall hangings, table toppers, place mats etc will have batik backs, but any quilt I'm making as a USING quilt never has batik on the back.
I give it a thumbs up visually, but a thumbs down for warmth.
