I really like that one too. Oh my, {sigh} what's a girl to do? :lol:

This is a great idea, or bordering with the brown!

Now you have put the fat in the fire :!: The subject of pre-washing fabrics is a huge argument.

I don't, never have, never will. I have confidence in the fabrics I use as I only buy reputable named manufactures of quilting fabric and I know that a lot of quilters will scream in horror but I have never had a catastrophe, yet [img]http://bestsmileys.com/fingers/1.gif[/img]

I was thinking that since the quarters are basically darks with mediums mixed in and the brown is dark I'll have no problem. I wasn't planning on washing, but I've never used batiks before and didin't know if they bleed.
