Your quilts are beautiful. I have used very little batiks. IMHO, the earlier batiks were sometimes muddy/murky looking. To this day, I'm still somewhat concerned about the dyes running. Have used a touch of batiks here and there, especially something with a fern or leaf pattern to it as an accent fabric.
Looking at your first quilt could change my opinion completely. The colors (and pattern) are so bright, happy and warm. You've made me a "believer" !!!
