During a vacation to California to visit my sister and her family, I purchased a tea towel with a very pretty herb design. The tea towel was too pretty to use in the kitchen so I decided to create a small wall hanging with the herbs as the focal point.
But, what to use as a frame? After testing several ideas, I created a quilt block design loosely based on the Picnic Time block. I named it Picnic Frame. This block is very easy to piece. Quick piecing techniques are used for both the half square triangles and the flying geese. Piecing instructions are available here.
Here is a picture of my herb wall hanging.
I added the block to MyWebQuilter.com with several color options. I think it would look beautiful with a large print Oriental fabric as the focal fabric. Here are two possible color options.
I also added a twin size quilt pattern to the MyWebQuilter.com gallery. The blocks make a pretty secondary design in this pattern.

Happy Quilting!
