Have you been to WalMart lately? Ours has some of the ugliest batiks I've ever seen - butt ugly! I would have agreed with you before I saw these! I did buy 4 yards of one design. Washed it & it's not too bad. Am using it in the Carol Doak BOM she has on Yahoo. But the others - ughhhh! I was stunned that WM even had batiks, though! Oh, $3.50 a yard!

I have no idea on a pattern yet. I LOVE scrappy quilts. I am buying pinks and purples, and teals, LOL, think they might look really good with black!

I was at a jo anns and couldn't not,,,, get some batiks,and thought I was getting 8.99 a yd. A yard of each. Well when I stood in line a long time to pay, and got in the car, I discovered,I paid 12.99 for two of my yard cut. I had a coupon for 50% off.But only on one. That will teach me to check the end of Bolt cardboard,before getting to excited, and all the bolts were together. So I thought they were all 8.99 , They are pretty, but I never,have paid that much for any material. Oh well live and learn.

I just brought a Carpenters Wheel wall handing in Batiks (my first experience with this fabric) and love the fabric/colors, is there a right or wrong side to this fabric. I know there are no Quilt Police but both sides seem to look the same to me.

I considered throwing mine in the trash before I looked at it but could not bring myself to do it after I saw $3.98
