Make me like Batik....

Gee, no one will yell at you!
Everyone has their likes and dislikes, it is what makes us all individuals. Some of us love batiks but not thimbleberries and vice versa. or any other variety of fabrics.

I love batiks! I like the bright colors and they make me feel good. I love the Bali pops and have made several lap quilts for Alzheimer's patients. I'd like to think they recognize the bright colors and feel good when they look at them.
When I walk into what I call a "brown" quilt shop (Debbie Mum, Thimbleberries, traditional county fabric) I get depressed and leave quickly. However, when I enter a quilt shop and see great colors I am upbeat and tend to stay longer and spend more money in this type of shop.

I felt the same way you did about Batiks and never appreciated them for their value. They are very unique but I feel they don't mix well with other fabrics .. .they belong together. I DO LOVE that they are reversible and it doesn't matter which way you put them. No worrying about right side/ wrong side. I also love unusual designs so my taste for these has developed.

I agree with you on this point. Don't like to mix my batiks and other cottons.
