I love batiks. Some of the ones with the large design I just do like others said and just cut them up for the color variations. My favorite batik shop is Lunn fabrics in Lancaster, OH. They actually design batiks for some of the major manufacturers. It is good that it is 2 hours away or I would probably have to file bankruptcy and be unable to walk into my sewing room. They do sell online. Lots of batiks you don't see elsewhere.
