You could always make pieced ( or appliqued) blocks with solid fabrics which are the same colors found in the GI Joe fabric, and use the GI Joe fabric for sashing or borders. That way you could probably make a quilt as large as you'd like.

I say add other fabric and go for a quilt...that's what I've been doing for my cousins. I find a focus fabric that is something individualized then add other matching fabric and make a quilt...so far, so good, no one has wanted to give one back and the ones that don't have one yet are waiting patiently...well, pretty patiently.....

Which fabric did you buy and how much yardage did you get?
Wondering if the fabric is suitable for fussy cuts and maybe doing a Shadow Quilt. You know the one where you cut the fabric into squares or rectangles, the a strip of dark fabric on the right side and across the bottom.
