    You can, but I would use Retayne on the batiks before putting them in a quilt. I had a lot of batik fat quarters for a quilt I'm currently working on and all of them bled. Some of them bled like a sheep at slaughter until I set the dye with Retayne.

    This is quilting - one of the few tasks where you can do whatever you want, just keep loving it til you're satisfied. LOL
