Can I use cotton and batiks in the same quilt?
#1
I have four fantastic cotton fabrics, and two batiks that are the perfect colours to go in too. Can I use them together? I've only ever had one or the other in a top, never both. Might be a stupid question! ;-)

All of the batiks I have bought are cotton, and I have used them with other high quality quilt shop cottons with no problems. Some people that hand quilt have problems quilting batiks, but as a machine quilter it hasn't bothered me. Most batiks are woven tighter than some cotton which is the reason for the problem.
I say go for it.. it is your quilt and your rules....

Whew! Didn't want to break one of those "rules" ;-)
The colours are just perfect, and I can't find anything in the same cotton. The batiks feel a little bit thiner, but I don't think it's going to be noticeable.
