For a beginner (or anyone!) Ohio Star would be a good pattern. After collecting batiiks for a number of years, that's my plan :) Here's a free, relative easy pattern:

OMG..if you only knew how extreme! These were going in the trash! I also got a box full of books and another garbage bag full of fabric a while back. She owns several homes...one house, the entire second story of the farm house is all sewing and mainly where she keeps her flannels and wool felt...that's all! Then her house here she has the great room as her sewing room/ full of fab fabs as well as the huge room next door to it...that houses more flannels, batiks, and wool. She swears she is giving up sewing soon, as she has been there/ done that with all aspects of it. I will help her out! lol
