Just another thought. You could use a full-size background and applique these on and make a whole new design with them. Thnk spiral galaxy or several flower stalks with leaves. I would sew a lining along the edge of the blocks and make it more curvy, following the pattern on the blocks and then turn the lining to the inside. This will give a smooth applique edge and stop any fraying. Or you could be traditional applique or even a very light iron on applique material. I have not made any of these quilts but might one day.
