You could do a window pane or something like that, where the lg print is the center and coordinating fabrics around it. I have one like I am talking about in my album, it is made with orange and greens. Just to give you an idea. You could make the center block however big you want and then add 2 1/2" strips around them. Hope this helps.
I made this one today.
It turned out real nice, it is a great pattern, goes fast en perfect for large print.

Let us know what you're favorite is from all the great tips here......hard to make the right choice!
Klasien, that's a really cute design! I love easy but pretty. I have some large prints that would look great with that pattern.
You could still use the DP9; just adjust the size of your blocks...doesn't have to be a specific size...do all 6" or 8" or 10" blocks for the DP9....depends on how large a quilt you want to make
I bought a pattern a couple years ago for a lighthouse quilt I made. It's called "Just can't cut it" from All Washed up Quilts. It was easy and really showed off my print. You can find it on Ebay.
Thank you for posting this and thank you for posting the ideas. I've been fussing with one of the Baby Genius charm packs that I just can't seem to make work AT ALL! I wasn't trying to do anything fancy.....but the combination of several of the blocks just don't speak to me at all. Kept thinking I could add a solid or something to make it work, but so far....NADA.
I think I just need to get rid of some of those blocks and seam up the rest......
