What quilt designs are the most appropriate for use of Batiks? I just chose one for the feature square of a D9P baby-girl quilt and I adore them. Should batiks be in the same quilt as regular screen-print fabrics? Should batiks be used in traditional or colonial-style quilt blocks or just in modern designs?

I use them in all different designs from traditional , bargello, etc.
They really do go with everything. One of the most fabulous quilts I ever saw was a Baltimore Album done in batiks .. it was breath taking.
