Sorry, but I love batiks. To me the colors are just gorgeous. And I love the feel of the fabric. I've been collecting them for years and, while I haven't made a whole quilt with them yet, I have added some to other quilts here and there. My problem is that I love the colors so much, I have a hard time cutting them up. But someday I will. I know exactly the quilt I want to make with all batiks. I just have to get about thirty other projects finished up first. (Sigh!)
