any quilt design you like will work...batiks are just another cotton fabric, you can make any pattern you like- really- split rail, log cabin, star blocks, bearpaw, maple leaf, jacobs ladder,
go to quilters cache and scroll through all the free blocks you can make any of them you want.
visit some of the batik websites that also sell kits/patterns for more inspiration...like 'batik's plus'-

An pattern you like will work with batiks! The most important thing to be aware of is that batiks have a tighter weave than most quilting cottons. Using a Sharp type of machine needle rather than a general purpose needle works well with batiks. Good luck with your quilt!!
