    I am guessing that you want to keep the Batman theme?

    If not ... it could make a pretty darned good SAW, OBW, Kaleido, etc!
    (can you tell I am not a Batman fan? Sorry!)

    I would make something easy with big blocks. Cut your fabric in 9.5 X 7.5pieces. Put a 1 inch finished border on the 9 inch sides to bring your pieces to a square. Alternate the blocks vertical and horizontal.

    If you don't care about the "theme" of this fabric, a Kaleidoscope would be a good option.

    If you alternate large blocks of either of the fabrics, large being 8-10+ inches, and then made a double 4-patch of half that dimension, so if you use an 8" finished block (8.5" cut) then the 4-patch would be made with two 4" finished squares of the other fabric, and two smaller 4-patches made of 2" finished solids from the fabrics (so the yellow from the bat signal, or the red or blue from the words, or even black).

    You can move the basic blocks around so that either the little 4-patches march in diagonal lines or as an Irish chain that encircles the larger block.

    Fast and easy, fun with four patches and large pieces

    I was thinking you could use 1 for the backing to show off the pattern. Then big blocks on the front maybe mix in some red and white blocks to pop

    I think the one on the right would look good in Warm Wishes with black/grey/ blue in the strip blocks. You could use the other fabric for the back. The one on the right would also be great in the Shadowbox pattern. I think it would be a little busy if you used both fabrics on the front in my opinion.

    Makes a great boys quilt. Super heros are a hot item now in the kids world. I'm sure you'll find just the right pattern for this fabric and it will be Super Special.

    I would put the left one on the back. I think the pattern wouldn't cut up well, you would lose the pictures. I would then go with the big block idea, maybe a D9P with yellow, white, grey and the orange red on the back. I wouldn't use black as an accent, I would brighten it up.
