I'm with you! They don't do much for me. But fortunately there are so many beautiful fabrics to drool over.
|
I pretty much like everything except for Disney/cartoon prints and anything with a tropical theme, like palms/hibiscus. I have some tropical prints in my stash (can't resist a good bargain), but when I get to it, the quilt I make will be given to a great friend who is crazy about all things tropical.

I go through phases. When I first started quilting I loved Thimbleberries. That was all I bought. No brights or batiks. Now I find myself loving brights and batiks. Still love thimbleberries but wish I had more selection of other fabrics. I guess I will have to go to Mary Jo's soon.

my girls smile at because if it has a flower in it I like it

I don't like Batik either, I also don't like Homespun in Quilts, I love the look of it but it doesn'a work in quilts, it frays too much.

You can google Bonnie Blue Quilts and get a general idea of what the fabric is like, color, design and patterns. Have a good day. Edie |
I love 'em all - I'm a new quilter so haven't formed any opinions yet and use whatever I lay my hands on ...........

It all works for me. I've come across some prints that are just plain ugly, but I think no matter the print or color, something good can come out of it with a little creativity. |
Would someone explain what Batiks are? New to quilting so I know this is a dumb question but would like to have an answer to it. Thanks from a newbie.

Roberta is our real expert but so you get some kind of an answer quickly...Batiks originated in Bali, they are hand-made using wax to make area of the fabric resistant to dye. Of, course, nowdays they are being manufactured by big companies. Some have a mottled look to them, others have an obvious theme. Good batiks are closely woven and the back and front are the same, ie no right or wrong side.
