You are NOT alone! I don't like batiks - at least most of the time, I don't. I think it's because it irritates my double vision to look at them. And I am 'color challenged' so I don't see what those who love batiks see.
I did make one quilt top out of batiks for my grand nephew, though, and I love it. Am getting ready to quilt it in the next month or so. I made it from a set of jelly roll strips so I knew everything worked together. At least I think they work together. LQS wouldn't sell something that doesn't work well together, right?
Not too worry, though, there are plenty of other fabrics out there for us!
