I know what you mean. But it's so worth it.

If you love batiks let me know about your project. I just love new inspiration.

Wow! How cool is that?!?!?! I too love batiks, but have not ventured into an all batik quilt yet....yet.... I am making a QAYG seashell quilt using batiks. It is posted as WIP-QAYG. I got some jelly roll strips that are all dark blue batik, looks to be the same design all through and am looking for inspiration to use them.

I, too, love batiks. The colors are so vibrant and each quilt is different. The quilt shown here is totally batik. There are 22 different fabrics in this quilt and the colors make the design. The pattern is the basic log cabin. So easy to do and looks so complicated.

Love your quilt! I'm also hooked on batiks. I'm working on a Desert 9 Patch that came as a kit. LOVE IT! I have another block in mind where I'm going to use batiks. Can't wait to finish the D9P to see how it looks when all the blocks are are together.

Beautiful quilt.... I love the batiks and all your details!

My only understanding of batik is an Indonesian way of printing the material. What else am I missing? What is so special about batiks, a certain look, feel, quality?
