My pattern suggests batiks. Is that the best way to go?

If you do select batiks.. pick ones that the color dispersements are not too big and blotchy . You want smaller scale colors , they will blend better. I also avoid the ones that read as solid colors, no blending. When I select fabrics for bargello I stack up the bolts on a table and stand back about 10 feet , you will see the progression of colors better from a distance. I also buy 2 extra colors , as some never make the final cut. If you like what you see when you stack your fabrics... take a photo, in color..or as they are getting cut number them right there in the store.
