Hey thanks everyone! I am using a confetti white background and mostly Batiks (sorry I didn't know how to spell it but now I do). I'll post up the picture when I'm done with it. It's still fairly new. Again thanks for welcoming me and all the nice inputs.

batiks tend to bleed-so i would be sure to pre-wash them- but you can mix anything you want- the only thing i ever worry about is whether or not they can be laundered together- as long as they all can be washed- they all can be used in my book

I'm making a scrappy quilt right now that has cotton, flannel, corduroy, sparkly Christmas fabric, batiks...
If you like it, use it! (Unless it is going to fall apart, or shrink, or bleed uncontrollably.)

Hello and Welcome to the board :D:D:D
Quilts that are going to be washed and used a lot, I am more careful mixing fabrics. Wall hangings, quilts that aren't used often, I would mix just about anything.
