A number of years ago the guild I was in at the time collected orphan blocks. I assembled them into quilt tops (I made 45 tops). I would hang them on the design wall until I was happy with them, add sashing where needed, put some on point using triangles to square them up, also arranging some so they were adjacent. Great fun. In some ways they were like the block of the month quilts or sampler quilts. Our standard size was (roughly) 45x60 so I also put borders on some to make the correct size. It was great fun to see all the different blocks and how to get them to fit together.
