Welcome to the Quilting Board!

Your block is beautiful. either table runner mentioned above would look nice with it. Let it set awhile and you will come up with an answer.

I agree with zennia, it is one beautiful block & I think anything you come up with will be stunning. I also agree with letting it sit for a while until you feel the "inspiration".Originally Posted by zennia

It is a beautiful block.
I would finish it so I could use it as a wall hanging.
I was also thinking wall hanging. Use some of the bright colors to add a border.
Yes the top runner in your link (in blues) is a French Braid runner. Type in French Braid in the search box on QB and you will find pictures of quilts and runners also.
I was thinking of a braid pattern as well. How about making the black braid a bit larger than usual and using the colored pieces for squares? You did a great job on this block. Love it!

Use it as a center for a "Round Robin" project.
May your stitches always be straight, your seams always lie flat, and your grain never be biased against you.

As far as quilting it, I have a tendency to echo appliqued projects, but that's just my fear of messing it up. You could make it the focal point of a small wall hanging. I would LOVE to see you do a few more and make a lap quilt. I know repeating sometimes is not much fun, but you could look for other blocks and see what happens.

I like your idea of a table runner with the hearts. It will really go pretty with this square.
