If you don't like the repetition of the pictures you could applique girly things like shoes, hat, gloves, powder puff and lipstick or camera's film reels, a dressing room star etc. Then on the backing a strip down each side of the small frames with black and white fabric pieced to make the strips look like film. If the subject matter doesn't really move you it might be really cool to do one of those one block wonder quilts.

Aren't these pretty!!!
I think some of them would look nice in an Attic Window block.
Or set into a window of a house block?
Depending on their size, this might be pretty if it wouldn't over shadow the quilting needed to keep it together.

Well, if you can't think of anything, you can certainly sell it to me. But, since you're up for a challenge.
When I see this fabric - I think of Old Hollywood. I guess I would ad to it; film reels, film strips, directors chairs, marquis etc. Maybe a curtain etc...
