I think batiks is the why to go. they are easy to work with. I have a quilt shop in my area that specializes in batiks, she carries alot of bolts and she might have some on clarance. I will check it out of you. I think between all of us on the board we can find what you want for the best price. I wish I had EQ also. Donna

If you could find any deep red/garnet/blood colored watercolor-like batiks, that would be awesome!

I've kind of run into a problem with the batik. I asked how to handle them and Judy (I think it was Judy---just off the top of my head) told me about this stuff to keep it the batik from bleeding like crazy. Retayne I think its called. Sounds good except I'm wondering if fabric treated with this is safe around children. Don't want to give this quilt to Deni and then find her newborn child got sick being around a quilt with treated batik. Would you happen to know if this stuff is safe around children or have a great alternative solution?
