Rag batik question
I need some guidance please. I am making a rag quilt by using 10 inch batiks as center block and adding 3.5 inch cotton borders to all 4 sides. Final block size is 15 inches. Only the cotton fabrics will be sewn to make the ragging. instead of an “x” from corner to corner, I was thinking of doing a pebble or some other motif in the batik block. Will this hold up of do I need to some stitching on the cotton borders. Thanks
