I hope it's ok to mix. I just basted a 3 dudes w/twist top, it is a roll of 2 1/2" batiks strips and a roll of 1 1/2" cotton solids used in the top with full cotton backing.

I mixed them in the quilt I'm doing now. I think they look lovely

I have mixed them in many quilts and never had a problem.

I mix them all the time. They look great with non batik fabrics.

Re: Batiks and non batiks

Yes you can mix them. Be sure and use color catchers in the wash the first time the quilt is washed.
