Fabric-driven quilts may be a thing of the past for me

Those are beautiful blocks, so don't stop now. See nothing wrong with what you have started. Take a couple of days off and then come back to these blocks, or take a couple blocks and just leave them to look at for several days and ideas should come to you. At least it works for me.

This isn't as bad as you think. I bet if you played with the blocks some more, and added sashing, you would find something really nice that suited you. I think this could have a very elegant look once you find the right way. Good luck and have fun with it. It's all part of the joy of quilting.

Good suggestions from everyone. Really like the different fabrics. Maybe the second one has too many prints together? Too busy? Look forward to seeing the finished product. Don't quit now you have all of us wanting to see this beautiful quilt (know that it will be great). You have done such a good job on them it would be sad to not have it completed.

I like your blocks. Lots of suggestions. I was thinking set them on point with dark HST on the light and light HST on the dark blocks. You could also sash them in grouping of four blocks. The fabric is great and you've done great work piecing them.

wow... this is a LOT of advice. THANK YOU. I did not expect this. VM Rooks could you post a photo of the quilt you finished of these blocks?
I've put the fabric away for a bit. To mature. (LOVE THAT!)
But I'm glad to know that there is this wonderful set of responses that I can turn to when the fabric has aged enough. ;-)
Thank you, everyone!

And that may be enough. I've done that, gotten it out in a year and liked what I had done...or had an inspiration.

So, your idea to let it "mature" may not be all that bad of an idea.
