I like making samplers; so I would get 3 to 5 yards of solid black background and make a sampler. There are lots of them around the web, or you can go to Quilters Cache and choose whatever blocks you like.

Swoon uses 2 FQ plus some background yardage for each block. I've been loving this block for a few years now and am finally getting around to making it. I didn't buy the pattern and instead figured out my own method since I didn't want to deal with extra "bonus hst" from her method of making flying geese. I am using the no-waste method and it's working out really well.
The 24" Swoon uses 18FQ and makes 9 blocks for an 80x80 quilt. Swoon 16 is a bit smaller (16" blocks?) if you prefer smaller blocks. Fireworks is another one that uses FQ and is also on my to do list. [ATTACH=CONFIG]594062[/ATTACH] |
A few weeks ago there was a discussion thread here about the Slideshow pattern by Atkinson. If you want to use the batiks as a group, this pattern may work out for you. Here is a link to the thread and there are links in it to images of the pattern.

Lovely fabric...so many choices!!!

My avatar is a quilt called Gimme Diamonds by Four Paws quilting. www.fourpawsquilting.com
you can use FQs or half yards, it was a fun project. |
With such lovely vibrant colors, the fist thing I thought of was a stained glass quilt. Add some solid black or dark gray, and you are well on your way to a magnificent quilt. Good luck.

County Lines takes 12 fat quarters so you could make 2 of them. [ATTACH=CONFIG]594174[/ATTACH]

Madamekelly also has great idea if you want to use them all in one quilt. There are a lot of great stained glass window patterns out there. Even the fake cathedral windows pattern would be great for the colors. |
There are lots of cute rainbow patterns available. Here are a couple of links:

I think the reason that inspiration has not struck is the fabric don't easily suggest how you could use them together. I see several groups of 3 or 4 that look like they would work well together but not the entire pile. I think Dunster has the right idea. They would be lovely as blenders with some prints mixed in.
