    Well, no one mentioned this so I'll hop in. I love batiks, they're beautiful and make a unique looking quilt!
    I haven't used it extensivly enough to say much but the problem I had with it is since it is so tightly woven there is no stretch to it when easing in. I make lone star quilts and have combined regular with batik (for just the "right" color) and with a strip of up to nine colors matching up to another strip of up to nine colors there WILL be a little easing here and there.
    Batiks don't ease well and leave little ruffles.
    Run by on a galloping horse though..no biggy.

    Thanks so much for the recommendation for Seawatch! There's such a wealth of info on this message board and I'm getting the hang of it. I'm bringing my quilt to the quilt store tomorrow for advice. This SITD is making me a wreck. I've ripped out more than I want to think about.
    Thanks again...viva batiks!
