Batiks-Love or Hate Them
#124
Take them or leave them. Mostly leave them - in the store. Small pieces have worked in a couple of projects I've done, but in that case I can get by with a fat quarter and not have any left over taking up space in my stash.

Generally I like/love them ... but some batiks are really not very attractive. My biggest issue is they bleed .... the deeper the more beautiful the color ... the more they bleed. I dislike that I have to spend additional $$ on Retayne just to get them to stop bleeding.

I like the batiks, so many of them are simply beautiful. BUT....there are many that just don't do it for me. I think batiks are great for backings as you can find one that has many of the colors from the top.
