Default Scrap quilt - mixing fabrics

I should just make a signature that says, "I am a newb, please help!" Lol

I was gifted a bunch of fabric, with quite varied prints, and have decided on making a scrap quilt like this one: http://www.52quilts.com/2012/08/sund...rap-vomit.html

The fabric all seems to be discount store quality (which is fine... gift horse you know) printed cottons, some of which appear to be pre-washed. I already have some scrap 2.5" squares of quilt shop quality unwashed fabrics, including some batiks.

Do you think it would be okay to mix those in? I wonder if the batiks would stick out like a sore thumb, if the different quality fabrics would be an issue, and how much of a problem mixing washed/unwashed stuff would be..
