Just a thought. I have been with Project Linus over 6 yrs. We get these blocks all the time and they are beautiful. What I have done is add fabric to sides of block and then to top and bottom until you get the size you like for the quilt. Then lay this top on batting and back and continue to put it together to make a quilt. This gives the center a little puff to it but they are darling. Hope this helps. A little easier than a quilt as you go.
