Throw pillows?

Since they have nothing to tie them together, you could incorporate them in an Irish Chain.

Otherwise, doing some 9 patches in between or turning it into a table topper would work just fine.

I agree...I like the look of these types of quilts..don't forget to show us what you decide to do..

Tartan beat me to it. I would also make piano keys for a border, with the keys being of a pastel sort to complement the stars.

Those were my thoughts exactly!

How about using them in the borders surrounding a panel or some other pieced design? Think "outside the box" and use them together along one side with another beside it? Most of us think of symmetry but it doesn't have to be.

Could you bring yourself to make just one more block? Then you'd have a nice even setting (3 up, 3 down) that you could surround with numerous borders.

Why not float them with white blocks between. Would make a really nice throw. Really cute bright blocks.

How big are they (I'm guessing 12", based on the size of the wall outlet below)? Do you want to keep the final project?

Once all blocks are sewn together, then it would appear that you had added the triangles.

I realized after I posted my idea that it did do the same as yours but by then it was too late for me to edit it so I had to just leave it. Sorry about the "plagiarizing". Ha!
