I use batiks all the time along with regular cotton prints. I think they really enhance a quilt. You might want to use them in a consistant way such as the center of the "flower" or use them around the outside edge or just simply scatter them about the quilt. Then you could use a batik as a border piece. Good luck.

I always mix, hand sew too!

I mix them all the time.

I haven't mixed cottons with batiks yet, but if the colours go together, go for it.. I have made a batik quilt and hand quilted it with no problems. Looking forward to seeing your finished project.
This picture is my batik quilt. |

So thought I would ask those that have been making the hexagons or even if you just use both fabrics in the same quilt.
Thank you in advance for your response. |
