Yes.

if it floats your boat to do so than go for it. I do frequently mix batiks and regular fabrics.

You bet you can!

I have done it and it was great. Sometimes you need another type of fabric in your quilt.

momto5 08-31-2011 05:03 PM

Yes, with good success!

They are particularily beautiful when mixed as a hint or pop of color or pattern

I mix everything with everything, and so far no one has thrown me in jail and the world has not ended - Ha ha...

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
