I am a big fan of applique and love to draw my own patterns and stitch it down. But whether you love to applique, piece, or paper piece your pictures, sometimes we all just need to just relax and let the fabric do the talking. After all, those charming and fun prints we love to collect need to come out of the stash closet sometime and shine in a quilt of their own.

You could stitch a simple coordinating frame around a rectangle or a square.

Or try an Attic Windows block.

Square-in-a-Square is one of my favorites.

You could even create a Square-in-a-Square variation …

… or two.

What do you like to do with your novelty prints? (Quilt blocks above are from my Dear Diary quilt.)
