    Default Opinions please

    I've stitched out 8 so far, there are 12 in the set. I want to make a wall hanging and not sure what to do. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm going to quilt it but should I just do squares? Should I applique them on fabric???? I'm at a loss.
    Thanks
    Pat

    These are stunning!! They really pop on the black... is this just to show them? I like them as is, would like them with a super skinny light blue sashing. Please post your finished work in a new thread..... I rarely subscribe ....

    I have no ideas for you, but they are beautiful; each one so different.

    They are amazing and the black really makes them stand out. I would like to see them random placement.

    Oooooh, pretty! I like them on the black background but it depend on what look you want. They would look pretty and springlike on a light background as well.

    I would set them on point with a narrow sashing. I'd pick a bright solid or blender fabric in a color that was in most of the stitchouts, and then select a different color for cornerstones.

    I like the on point suggestion. I've never done that before. I'll see if I can find a tutorial or something.

    Black always makes a quilt shout... stand up and take notice!! Lovely.... stunning. I agree with what others are saying.... use these as individual blocks. If you are making 12, and placing them on point with a thin sashing, they will really be eye catching. And, you could add some borders to make it as large as you'd like. You have so many options.... WOW! My imagination is reeling....... Good job!!
