There are 32 quilted blocks & one unquilted. I figure that I will do 'em 5x6 & then do a border. If she wants a border. I'm gonna talk ta the lady & see if she wants ta make pillows or wants ta frame the others.

Jenniky, sorry I got behind on reading the posts. My Sue and Sam were blocks that were just laying around and wondering what to do with them. Thank you for the nice comments.

Not sure that my orphan blocks will qualify, since ultimately I hope to create a large curtain to hang from my ceiling to cover/protect my fabric stash wall. However I do have some orphan blocks that I have been toting around for at least 15 yrs and I am now working on how to set them. I have a set plain amish color/black bowtie blocks and a set of attic windows that are in various prints (this was from a very misguided swap group!) and I want to join them together with alot of black fabric (hoping the black will form a miracle). I have tried QAYG in the past and didnt like all the hand stitching on the back to cover my block by block work. Are you doing something different than that Jenny?

That turned out real beautiful ssnare! The blue really sets off those blocks! Isn't it fun to get one of our UFO's out of the stack!
