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.

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. |

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!
