Add the smaller 16" ones on the front? Use the smaller ones for a new quilt? They are all various shades of blues and browns. Thanks for looking & thanks for your guidance!

HOW ABOUT USING THE BIG ONE IN THE MIDDLE AND ON EACH CORNER USE THE OTHER FOUR AND USE A BORDER INBETWEEN THEM TO OFFSET THEM WITH SOLID FABRIC DARK BLUE

Beautiful blocks. No suggestions but I think "Quilted Dogs" suggestions sounds good.

How gorgeous! I would do a big one in the middle too and the smaller ones around it. But whatever you're going to do, it will be beautiful!

These are beautiful! I would finish them out @72", makes a generous lap quilt, or a great throw for your bed!
