Need help with orphan blocks.
When my DMIL past away I was given her quilting stash. Among the many UFOs she left I discovered these squares I thought I would be able to do something with.
As I don't know how to appliqué, I can't add appliqué squares. I do have more of the background fabric. The pieced square is slightly smaller then the other squares but I should be able to cut the others to the same size. The smallest square is 12". Do you think these squares are from a specific quilt pattern or would they be a sampler. I would love to know what her intent was for these.

I also have these 5 squares but have no more fabric to add additional squares. Are these squares easy to make, if so I could probably buy some fat quarters to add more. Should I use just 4 and build borders around them and make a pillow cover or bag with the one left over. These are 12 1/2" squares.[ATTACH=CONFIG]431558[/ATTACH]
The final item I would like to make larger maybe lap quilt size. It is approximately 36" square. The squares are 2" finished. Any and all help would be appreciated.
