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,
Have some fun & play with them. When you sit down w/ that cup of tea, think of how you can have fun w/ your squares.... I find I can lay out a flannel sheet & start moving the pieces around, to see what looks nice next to each other! It's easy to roll up & the pieces stay in place til the next time you want to play with it. You could do a really fast & easy, scrappy-charm quilt, with or without sashing. Or you could make them the feature in the center of an assortment of "sampler" blocks... The sky's the limit -- studying them could help you make up your mind.
