And the shop everyone recommended most was closed for Ramadan! Had a great time exploring though and bought some fabrics which claim to be hand dyed 100% cotton. Too pretty to cut up!
Yes, I know what you are talking about - the kind of batiks not commonly referred to by quilters.
They are usually worn as sarongs. Those are 100% cotton too, and can be made into quilts, although they are kind of all over and hard to cut. I've made a quilt out of those fabrics. They can be pretty, but busy
