Make a pillow.

if you really don't like them I would use the 8 blocks - long arrangement. two wide and 4 long. Add some borders and give it to a worthy cause. Can add widder borders on the sides and narrow ones on the top. Make it workd for a throw. finish it up and get it out of your sight.

How about a couple of quilted prayer shawls :?: :shock: I made one with 3 blocks and additional fabric. You could make 2, 4 block prayer shawls. Something that generous, the person will only see the love not the the fact that your original purpose was something else. :mrgreen: :XD: :lol:

Could you just try a different center block? Those are so nice. If you can't use them, you can send them to me. LOL

I love your blocks. The blues are so well done. Keep moving them around and maybe you will get inspired about the. Make a few more and turn it into a crib quilt would be my idea. Marvel

I would sew 4 or 5 together and hang long and narrow arross the door opening in a hallway.

using the same pattern but different fabrics, make more blocks. 5 blocks of each fabric set until you have enough for a quilt.

Thank you all for your suggestions!! Once I decide what to do, I'll do it and post pics!

You could make a couple of pillows

Make a table runner. Use each block separately for a mug rug. Put one on the bib of a plain white or navy blue apron like the ones you an buy in restaurant supply department at Sam's or Costco. Use each block as the side of a tote bag. Sew them together for a table topper. Make a doll quilt. Use one as a throw pillow top. Sew all of them together, put on some wide border and you'll have a nifty quilt for a baby.

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!

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!

Hot pads or potholders?

looks like Jacob's ladder...

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

8 blocks... how's bout a tablerunner?

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!

You can always add them as 'art' to the backing of a quilt.

Add more solid blocks and make a larger quilt or maybe you can turn it into a table topper

Take the middle square to the bottom right hand side and put a solid square in the middle then use sashing and boards. Now you have a lap quilt. Let us know what you decide!

Do you have anything to coordinate if so use 4 as a center X and use the other 4 as off-set corners or as corners

Do you have anything to coordinate if so use 4 as a center X and use the other 4 as off-set corners or as corners

Can you wait until you are doing a quilt of similar colours and use them in your outer borders as corner squares and middle squares?

These blocks turned out beautifully and the 4 together look really nice. You've been given many great ideas already, but what about looking for a spring panel that has different printed sections to it, an using the 4 in the cent as main focus, then the remaining 4 in the corner with the panel sections and maybe some other blocks &/or solids or marbles (I love Moda Marbles!) to make a twin quilt or wall hanging. Really great work! Patty

maybe you could use 4 of them for the center and build around the four blocks and use the other for in corners with a cordinating color

If you have enough to make the missing corner block, I think you should and use the design you have going now.That looks neat and gives you a great looking design.

Decide on an alternare block, a nine patch variation, find fabrics that coordinate with the ones in the blocks you have now and make what you need to finish a quilt top.

I would make 8 (or 16) more blocks of completely contrasting/complimenting fabrics, then place them so that they look like a 'down-home' quilt.

Or a baby quilt.

hot pads for gifts!!

Those would make a pretty decorative pillow cover, you have just the right number of blocks for both side, the size would be about rigth, too. Or make two, with a coordinatig backing and binding (if you like it framed).

I'd line them up side-by-side on point for a table runner with setting triangles in another blue.

how about moving the block you show in the center to the lower right corner (where the empty space is) and making just another embroidered block for the center out of a coordinating fabric for a table topper. By the way ,I live about 45 minutes away from you in Schoharie Co. Used to drive to Albany everyday to work for 34+ years.

Looks like a nice spring table runner to me.

I haven't read the whole thread, but this is what I would do. I'd move that center block out to the corner. then I'd make a different center block -- an embroidery design, or any One-block. Or even a solid block of a striking fabric. Then border it and use it as a table topper.

Oh yea. Sandi said something similar. I like her idea of sashings.

How about putting them in 2 rows of 3 & making it a table runner?

I would turn the top row #2 block counter clock wise 1/4 turn, then take the bottom #1 and place next to top leftwith out turning.
Now take the last bottom block with a 1/4 turn counter clock wise and move to left side of row #2. This give you a nice pattern in your already cool design.
You can use it for a table runner as already suggested or a throw over the back of your couch.

oO make a table runner out of them! Great idea!
