Thanks for sharing your wonderful treasure! I am sure in no time inspiration will strike and you will be on your way to making some stunning quilts. Love your dog...he looks gorgeous.

Someone else might have told you already, but it looks like the Christmas blocks are meant to be Star blocks, they just need to be cut into diamond shapes and sewn together. You need a pattern for sewing them together, or someone experienced with making Star quilts. Love all the fabrics and blocks!

Wow! It looks like you hit a jackpot rather than a box of scraps! Enjoy sorting and using them.

I'm sure you'll find a use for them...I see a little magazine and book time coming up! Such a thoughtful donation!

These 62 pastel blocks could be appliqued on solid or white-on-white blocks, & a quilt would be very pretty made with them.
I love soft pastel colors. Please show us pictures of what you make with them. Mae

I think I've seen four or five possibilities so far.
