A pretty print with lots of pinks, a pink flower maybe, then do the border of same fabric. would make a nice wall hanging or table topper

Came across them a while back and immediately knew exactly what to do with them. Presto! A quickly finished project.

BTW, nice job on the piecing. I really like the block design and the colors you've used. It would be a shame not to put them to good use.

They've been put away for over a year and I just came across them today while going through one of my many bins....

u have enough for a baby quilt if you alternate with a plain block. or even a snowball block as alternate. would make a really nice baby quilt.

looks like a nice table topper to me - 2 rows by 4 rows should make a nice size. You could even put sashing and a border if you like. Very pretty, by the way :)

Do you have anyone ,family, friend expecting a baby. With 2 inch sashing and maybe a solid center block with applique or embroidery, it will make a darling baby quilt.
