Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I'm thnking of combining batik fabric with regular fabric for a quilt.

Not a problem at all - go for it. I'm a pre-washer, so I'd recommend that you do prewash your batiks at least although I've never had issues with any of mine. If the colors work - be happy!

It's all fabric. I combine by color, not labels. I love batiks and try to slip them anywhere I can.
I do it a lot and haven't found a problem with it yet. I do prewash all of my fabrics first.
A fabric stash is always missing that one fabric needed to finish the quilt on which you're working.
I'm doing that right now. Had charm packs ( mostly blues ) in Kaffe Fassett, but not enough for this apple core quilt ( will be throw size ). So I am adding about 8 or 9 batiks to this. I'm thinking it will work just fine

It is all fabric, can't think why it wouldn't work.

This life is the only one you get - enjoy it before you lose it.
Edyta Sitar does this all the time. Take a look at her work both on her website and at Laundry Basket Quilts. She actually designs batiks and "regular" fabrics to go together.
That is the only way I use batiks.

Used a mix in most all of the quilts I have made. I have pictures in my albums on here. Didn't know it was an issue.
Better to do something imperfectly, than nothing perfectly.
Done is better than perfect.
I mix them all the time. The quilt in my avatar is mixed. Here are a few others I've done that are mixed.
