Default batiks!

Being fairly new to batiks I have a question. Why do some feel silky and some feel like homespun? the colors are sharp on the silkier ones and the others are dull colors? curiosity makes me ask. I know they are both batiks.. but.. and all say 100 percent cotton so what gives?

I made half of one set today as was my goal hats off to brat!! I found I could get three blocks out of two fq's for a greek cross. left me with a few ends and pieces 4.5 pieces an such so I imagine I can use them again in a lesser quantity in another block that requires three fabrics perhaps. I am trying hard not to give just a bunch of pieces mix matched that dont match .. crossing fingers and all that please use your golds and yellow for ME! lol..I know the rest of are groaning OH NO yellows! golds! oranges! lol I love the blues purples too teals oh yeah but right now this baby quilt that dumbos want well going to give them what they want. sigh.. just hoping i wont die of embarassment and no way in heck am I signing my name to it lol... just a quilt here its yours. lmao.. evil aunt? maybe? for her 4th birthday when she can chat with me on the phone I will sneak it out of her what do you like??? and wham accidentally it shows up. things like that happen you know. He is my first Nephew.. he knows me by now. he is probably warning his wife as I type. love that kid. here is a picture of him all grown up with his wife. You might get a good idea why I think they are a bit.. eccentric in their ways. Oh he has a 10k album collection he had to call me on rock history.. oh wonderous. are you a hoarder> aka Auntie Brat here is a minimalist a collection here is 10. period.
