batiks tend to be a *higher end* fabric...anything under $10 a yard is a real deal!
be sure to pre-wash...batiks bleed because they are hand dyed, not printed.

Once you start with good batiks, you will want to use them more and more.

I was just in Field's Fabrics today and they had quite a few bolts of batiks for $5.98 a yard.

I used batiks (love, love) once for a queen size quilt that is beautiful. I bought the fabric at a quilt shop. The fabric stores, like Joanne has ok fabric but when I make a quilt, I want the best fabric so to the fabric shop I go. And there is a difference.
