Me too..I .add batks lots of times for additioinal color pop!

I always prewash batiks in hot water before using them. They bleed a lot, I pre washed a red batik with retain and it bled a lot, I ended up washing it three times before it quit bleeding.

I think the black will really enhance the blocks. Go for it.

Do you have a pattern name for this quilt? For Ansel

I do that all the time. Here's one I made (still needs to be quilted), only batiks and black solid for sashing and borders.

I love that quilt top. Thanks for sharing.

I did a reverse image search and found https://www.bloglovin.com/blogs/quil...ilt-5619098681 but the link to the pattern didn't work but I did find it on the wayback machine. It turns out the link is a different stained glass quilt and some of the pictures are missing https://web.archive.org/web/20170305...quilt-pattern/
If you read the comments below there is one from seven years ago that says it was from

Craftsy. It is called Stained Glass quilt. It is not a well written pattern, but it gives you the general idea. But I love the colors done in this quilt better than the one by the designer.

Upon further research I did find https://shop.conniekresin.com/products/scattered which has some big squares, but still different from the on Anael posted.

Here are two quilts I made mixing batiks and non-batiks. The prints are all batik, and the solids are not. Edit: Sorry, I didn't realize how old this thread was.

I've done all batiks in a quilt and mixed batiks with cotton prints and plain cotton. I've been lucky with bleeding. That is the best part of quilting, picking the fabric.

I mix batiks and solids/other fabrics all the tine. Never a problem and yes, I do wash my batiks first and seldom get any bleeding of color. As stated by several, the intense colors of batiks can add a pop of color to any quilt. Your choice, your quilt and you get all the glory for making a terrific choice. Mix away.
