I would be happy to take some of those batiks off of your hands. :-) i would also pay shipping. Just about any pattern works well in batiks. it is just your tastes. and it is about color, texture, and fabric placement that makes one style of fabric work over another. if you want a really really easy one a batik jewel box is a good beginner quilt top and you can make it any size that you want.

I have one that I just finished with white as a background. I will have to post some pics soon. if you post some pics of your batiks then we might be able to give better pattern suggestions and we always love to see peoples lucky fabric finds. (PS can I get the name and number of this lady? I would love to get a couple of bags of batiks too. hehe j/k.)
