I've been collecting batiks for over a year to make a double wedding ring. The melons (background) will be a mottled light cream. There should be plenty of contrast with my bright batiks.

I did one for my daughter using the "turning 20" pattern. It's very scrappy and she loves it! this is the only pic i have, it's folded, but you get the idea.... It was using fat quaters that were then cut up, so would work for what you have.

What about a french braid pattern.
I just bought a quilt kit off ebay with batiks and it looks fantastic.

Should you only use batiks with other batiks in a quilt, or can you use regular cottons and batiks in the same quilt? Just wondering if they shrunk differently etc...

No ideas come to mind, but would love to be your friend. lol

Oh, yes! French Braid would be spectacular with batiks.

Here is some inspiration for your Batik fabric.
