I would get a few quilts and/or cushions out of this lot. My suggestion would be to focus on only 3 - 4 blocks in a quilt with lots of red.blacks and white framing them, with red and black polka dot borders and black and white polka dot binding and sashing. They could look really stunning in those sorts of combinations - lucky you!

Sounds like you have gotten some real good suggestions, I really like the panel and will be interesting to see how it turns out. The small blocks would look good in the borders( as suggested) or add borders to the small blocks to equal the same size as the larger blocks (?).

I really need suggestions for this one. The quality of the fabric is wonderful. The color pallette is one I would ever work in but I guess it is good to be challenged.
