Then cut them all to that size. Then you can put a "frame" around them. How many do you have? Are you going to have to supplement them with other blocks to have enough to make your quilt?

Use the attic windows pattern, This would be what you are seeing through the windows, so if you miss a small part, it wouldn't matter.

They'd be beautiful in an attic windows quilt with some pictures being complete and some not. The scene out my window is not complete... Just cut them the size you need and frame them.

ok now that I got all the good ideals I am fairly new to quilting Have done some but the easy ones..nothing to advanced. so my next question is where do I find the instructions for the attic windows pattern thank you all for the great ideals they are all greatly appreciated
thank you sandy |
Sandy, one other thought....put a narrow border around each square the place them as a collage, over lapping one another, staggering, etc. It would not matter how much of the white is showing because you can simply cover it with another pictue. You will be useing fabric instead of photo prints.

I think I would square them up,, trying to balance the white, U might loose some of ur scene? Still better than being off balance. That would bother u more.......
|
Applique would probably be a good solution-they are beautiful, and would make a great quilt.
