    I also love Batiks and use them constantly. I love paisley prints, blenders, and have been drawn to Benertex fabrics and Hoffman fabrics. It just seems to work out that way!

    I made a One Block Wonder with fabrics like the ones you like. It's BEAUTIFUL and looks a lot more complicated than it is.

    Like a lot of you, I LOVE batiks! But I have a hard time cutting into them. I also collect large floral prints - - they just make me swoon. But I mostly buy tone-on-tones because I like the way they look like a solid from afar and they go with anything.

    Wilmington does have some wonderful designs. If you like those, take a look at what South Sea Imports offers too. They're both part of the same parent company, MMFab. Both lines have the same quality in terms of design, fabric, and printing.

    Batiks are my favorites. Brights, florals, well, who knows what else! I love fabrics! :)

    I like the dark country colors--burgundy, forest green and navy so I buy lots of complimentary colors. Scrap quilts are my favorite. Since I finally have grandchildren (yeah!) I am constantly looking at fabric for kiddies. For some reason I do not care for the batiks.

    I buy cotton, am not particular about designers name, I buy 1st. by quality and then by cost. The color, design depends on what I will do. I buy batiks but not much. I have a lot of florals, that I plan to use but have not done it yet.
