If you have only the four blocks shown, maybe you could make a wall hanging or table topper. If you use a very contrasting color with the blocks, that tends to take away from the candlewicking as your main focus. To me, this sort of handwork is better viewed as a neutral or natural whole cloth item, whether you hand or machine quilt it.
Please share when you finish!

Hi Jan.....there are 12 blocks....I like your suggestion of sashing with muslin....just worried about being able to match, any suggestions?
On the other hand, I don't want a colored or printed Sashing to overwhelm or take away from the lovely candle wicking.
