    Default Oh what shall it be?

    I have quite a few of these 5x5 squares that I bought at hancocks of paducah years ago when they had a close out of these. I'm just playing with them. I know I can cut one swatch in four and make HST and do something but I will think upon it. There's about twice as much more that is on the ironing board lol...

    I'm not going to be much help either but I did want to say I can't wait to see what you come up with.

    Some of those have really gorgeous flowers that I would hate to cut. Maybe a combo of large squares with smaller pieces?

    If you used some light or white solids in between, it would look like posies peeking through lattice or a trellis. Great squares!

    How many are there? What about Falling Charms? Using a white or very light solid in between would work.

    I have seen a pattern using similar squares with a small sashing between them. The squares just appeared to float on a bed of solid color.
