I say sew them together just as you have them. The colors are great and you will have a one-of-a-kind quilt. Great colors and great find. Tks. for sharing. G

Would love to see a picture of the finished top when you decide what to do with them.

Those are fabulous! They look like canoes! Maybe double-cross canoes!? What about a multicolored babric or even a batik? Is do a thin sashing. Even a neutral color would work! Can't wait to see it finished!!
