I like Sew Cornie's idea, but not for my mom...If I was making it for a nephew or something I would probably do that.
Keep the ideas coming please!

I would fussy cut the car and put it as the center of a star block.

Something like this, perhaps without the white around the center picture.

Yeah, I thought about this after I sent my reply. I'm so used to making kids quilts that that seems to be where my first ideas go. :oops: Looks like you're getting lots of good suggestions here. :-D

How large are the Minis? You could put them on fusible and make applique blocks with various scenes in the background.

I think shadow box would be cute, too--or use each car as a center, and strips with corner blocks around each one.
OR just use it as the center panel and find some neat fabric for multiple borders......
