One of the ladies in our guild used them in square, and rectangular blocks. She cut them out as close as possible to one of those sizes with as much fabric around them as possible, then added strips in odd triangle shapes to make a square or rectangle then made a design around them. ie. a square became the center of a star, a rectangle became the center of a courthouse steps. It was a great way to use most of the original fabric and very nice when done. Hers were loony toon characters. If you wanted to keep it simpler just add sashing around each one.

This gets my vote - the bears are spaced well enough apart and evenly that you should be able to get nice square or rectangle out of each one!

I see cutting the little bears in long strips. Squaring the larger bears and making the wonky blocks with rectangles---maybe several rectangles to give a more back & forth look. The the strips could be used as inside borders.
