I have over 500 4inch squares, gorgeous floral patterns, now what i need if you kind people can help me and tell me what can i do with them, apart from just sewing them together, i'm new to patchwork and quilting so i don't want anything too difficult, but on the hand i want something that's going to look good, at the moment i'm trying to make a quillow to practice with some squares i'd gathered, so hopefully any really bad mistakes will be made on that.
Thank you everyone for such a fantastic site, every evening i make a cuppa and settle down and look at all the new messages, am so addicted,

A trip around the world would be pretty. It helps if you have a place to lay them all out. Then you can pin them into strips if you don't have somewhere to keep them layed out until they get sewn together :D:D:D

quarter them, combine with neutral background, and make irish chain.
maybe watercolor if you have good selection of lights and darks, small and large prints.
edit to add example of watercolor. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-45890-1.htm
use them for centers of cathedral window.
