I forgot I had these left from a quilt i made for a friend years ago, what suggestions do you have for the remaining blocks? I don't want to toss them I'm just at a loss.

there are 5 blocks each & 8" square.

thank for the ideas! :roll: :roll:

A wallhanging or pillow to match the quilt-are you still friends? Mug rugs or coasters?

I'm finally using orphans from as far back as 1997 when I first started. so far they look fantastic on the design wall! It'll be my 'orphan' quilt.
