Default converged orphan star block

I had two of these blocks (8.5"):
[ATTACH=CONFIG]400550[/ATTACH]

and didn't know what to do with them, so I decided to try the Ricky Tims convergence technique on them, mostly to see if you could still see the star after convergence. First cut looked like this:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]400551[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]400552[/ATTACH]
Second cut ended like this:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]400553[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]400554[/ATTACH]
As you can see I messed up the order of strips in the second star (should have had the fat strips of the star with the thin strips of the second fabric) but the effect is still kind of cool. And the star pattern is still visible, which is what I was trying to test.

So now what will I do with them? Suggestions?
Thanks for looking!

Alison
