I looked for white batik for a long time for a quilt I am making and I have given up on a really white one. The ones I found were pinkish or bluish. I am using one regular fabric in my quilt and hope that it will be OK.

My suggestion is that you pre wash each of the batiks (separately) and treat them with Retayne...I think that is the name. It keeps them from bleeding. I found a big difference in the fabrics and how they bleed....they all lost some dye.
