Solids or batiks ?
#11
SAS can make you dizzy, regardless of the colors. But I never use a solid if I can find a tonal that works. So, this old gal favors the batiks.

Me too batiks are what got me started quilting again. I have mixed them with non batik fabrics to get the look and feel I want with beautiful results. I disagree that a mix of cotton and batik looks like a mix of burlap and silk I think that would only be true if you are using an extreamly low quality of cotton.

I use both batiks and other good quality cottons in my quilts all the time. Storm at Sea quilts are my favorites, haven't made one yet though. When piecing with batik fabrics I find that a 70/10 microtex needle seems to make it easier as the fabric has such a high thread count.
