I LOVE all of them except the first one and the last two.

well i love them all, but i like the pansy best. even if more expensive, they would be affordable in clothing if to expensive for quilts.

The price I've seen for batiks in quilt shops is usually between $9 and $10.

Now the tricky question...

Nicely done batiks are probably the most expensive fabrics for a shop to buy.

Would $8.50 / yard be too much to ask, do you think?

Be honest please. I don't want to make a mistake...

I bought small amounts of JoAnn's batiks. Some were over $10 for full yard. But I could't resist the fabrics. Not everyone will be looking for a huge quantity most likely. $8.50 sounds reasonable.

8.50 would be a great price for quality batiks-I'd buy them, for that

But mostly, we decided on the 1/4 yard cut so that you don't have to buy more than you really need. Most of us have limited space (and limited funds).

I would love a stack of FQs.....one of each batik shown.
I find the quality of fabric at LQSs to be MUCH better than other places. I don't mind paying if I am getting quality. So many people ask me where I buy my fabrics as you can really telll I buy beautiful, quality fabric. It's like baking a cake with poor ingredients or high quality ingredients. Your CAN tell the difference. I would advise you to be sure the QUALITY of the batiks is a good quality. Put me on the list as a purchaser! Good luck to you!
