I got these blocks from a BOM at a LQS. I didn't make any of them, didn't select the fabric, but now they're mine and I don't know what to do with them. Someone suggested I ask for help here, since all of you are sure to have great ideas.

I'm not overly fond of Halloween quilts, but actually only 2 of the blocks are overtly Halloween - the one with the appliqued ghost and bat (which I could remove) and the one with the skeleton fabric (which I could leave out of the quilt). The other blocks are just good fall colors. 6 of the blocks turned out to be the same pattern, so I grouped those together for the picture. They do make an interesting pattern... The blocks are 12", so without sashing or border they would make a 36x48" quilt.

Any ideas what to do with these? I think they actually look better in the picture than they do in person.

The bottom 6 are kinda of cute!
You might make a table runner out of them.

Table runner or table topper for fall are good ideas. Maybe a few fall throw pillows for your family room. Do you have a little one who goes trick or treating? Maybe a tote bag from the Halloween fabric?
