I like them all. They would be great for doing a sunset scene.

I would love FG's of all except Harvest. It just does nothing for me. Hope we all helped you out with decisions!

A big thank you to everyone who commented on the batik pictures.
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... |

Our minimum cut has always been 1/4 yard... that way you can afford to play with even more!
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've paid as little as $5.99/yd and as much as $15.00/yard, so $8.50 sounds very reasonable to me.
|
the vintage is to die for!
|
Hey, I'm from Canada... $8.50 /yard seems like a great price!
|
I like them all ! I have 2 yards of Primary !
|
All of them but the primary. They are beautiful.

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.
|
May I have 2 yds of primary . 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. |
I love them all but top 7 are my favorites, more the top 5.

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! |
I love them all!!! I guys if I would have to pick one it would be emerald though. What are they for?

I would have to pay that or more any where I get cloth from I would get at least 1/4 of each
|
I have paid a lot more than $8.50 /yd for good Batiks ,especially in Nappanee,In. It's well worth it when you see the finished quilt. So 8.50 is very reasonable to me.

The rep's coming this afternoon, so I'll be placing my order. Thank you all, very much, for the helpful comments and suggestions. I'll post which ones I ordered later (probably tomorrow). Those of you who actually want to place an order please PM me.
Right now I'm off to our local Panera to buy treats for when the rep comes. This person is rather special to me, as he's the first rep who ever deemed us worthy of a visit. (Reps have limited time on the road and have to choose carefully how to spend that time.) I haven't seen him in several years as he's been battling liver cancer, and this might well be the last time I see him. His wife will be taking over the sales business for him, and it will be my first time meeting her. Have to put on a proper welcome, right? |
The ONLY one I do not LOVE is the Primary colored one....all of the rest are absolutely BEAUTIFUL in my mind...thanks for sharing.
|
I like the Harvest and the Emerald
|
Not a homely one in the bunch. I love them all! I am partial to blues & teals but, honestly, they are all beauties!
|
This is depressing... the rep didn't have any samples to look at, because the fabrics were TOO NEW! So all that's available to look at, for now, is the pictures that I posted.
We did have a nice long talk, so when the samples do come out (which I will probably not get to see :-( ) ... I can ask some good questions along the lines of "exactly what colors are in that one" and "how wide are those bands of color, anyway?" (sigh) |
I don't care for Primary but love the rest.
|
All of them...lol. They are all wonderful
|
Ohhh! I love them all. I do have just a leeeetle bit of room in my stash drawer if you want to get rid of them. LOL :lol:
|
I think there is a place for all of them. I really coouldn't decide on a favorite.

Carribean is my dav but they are all nice
|
I love all of them, except the Harvest. Someone else would probably like it, I just don't care for those colors together. They are gorgeous fabrics. Batik is my favorite.
|
I like them all, except the pumpkin, in the order you have them.
