    Make a bed runner for yourself or to give as a gift. Just frame them, put a border or two on, back & quilt & voila.

    Potholders! They'll make great gifts to have on hand.

    Take the third block on the first two rows. Put it on top of the first two blocks and re-arrange them to match the bottom 2 rows (4 blocks). I see a nice, light "X" that runs through the bottom 2 rows. Then you can turn this into a table runner.
    EZ-PZ!

Sew all of them together, put on some wide border and you'll have a nifty quilt for a baby.

    Too bad you couldn't think of a thing to do with these blocks, Miss Froggy!! LOL! My goodness, your head must have all kinds of projects swimming around in there!

    I would put a soft colored center block in and make it a table topper.

    I agree. Make the center block 'your own' style, whatever that may be.

    I would pick a dark blue fabric for a sashing and thing border. Then, make a table runner from it!
