I, too, love batiks. However the fabric itself doesn't feel as soft as regular cotton fabric. I don't know if it softens up after several washings.

I just love batiks!!! I like working with them. The thread count is a higher so it will feel different, but they are just wonderful.

Me, too. I just don't think they are very pretty.

This will be my first time working with Batiks. I've been searching for a combo of dark purples,royal blues and blacks for my daughters quilt I'm making and the bundle I found was only found in the Batik line. We'll see how it turns out. I was planning on doing a coin quilt with black sashing and black borders. These are her favorite colors.
