    I wonder if they could be made into a nice scrappy border.

    Just sew them together! Here is one I made using leftovers from a FQ pack with no regard to light or dark, and I love it![ATTACH=CONFIG]471418[/ATTACH]

    Have a friend who makes dolls for charity and send doll quilts. Add pale blue or red for sashing and have girl or boy quilts. TU for the ideas guys.

    When you lay them out they may noot look all dark. There re various shades of dark, it just depends on what is next to it . Just go with the flow and have fun with it.

    Cut in half (across seam), then add half square triangle in light color (you will have light large and two small triangles all together in one block). Good luck

    How about joining 4 or 9 together to form a square and then sashing that square with a solid? I think it would look lovely.
