yep. i wish that the quilt police would publish a new handbook of rules, every year or two. i can't keep track of them all. i've decided that it's easier to apologize than it is to check the rules, first. maybe i'll just bring the batik out of hiding, instead. i'm sure it'd like to breathe.

Yes, it's really true. Not too many years ago I was under the impression that you don't mix batiks with anything else. I never followed that, but then I never really bought batiks. Now I'll put anything together.

At last I can quit searching the dark places for those nefarious folk that sell fake identification so that I can hide my shame when I do what I've been doing for TWENTY FIVE YEARS!!! Wow... such a relief! *snicker*

I was a good little consumer and believed that premise for years until I asked a very accomplished quilter about it a few years ago and she set me straight.......now I combine my batiks with regular cottons often and the result is just fine....in fact, I like the stability of the batiks in with my more common cottons.
