That turkey is really nice, how about fussy cutting some of the characters for their own block.

I am also interested in ideas for large print. I had some larger floral fabric that I used in a 10'' snowball block, you can even go 12 or 14 inch. Also, Kaffe Fasset features many patterns that use up large prints to promote his pretty large floral fabric.
I see those fabrics for pretty placemats too,

What about Venician Tiles type of pattern? One 9-1/2, One 6-1/2 and a couple of smaller ones with sashing between.
That way you could use several different size fussy cuts yet not loose the overall pictures
