I think that you really "lucked-out" with this purchase and have gotten some really good ideas here.

I recognized a couple of the fabrics too, but I can't remember from when, only that it has been a while!

I would suggest putting them on point and make a beautiful scrappy! (But then... I seem to be a scrap-a-holic.)

I know I have seen pictures of quilts on point however I have never done it. Can you explain it to me. Attached is picture with all the quilt blocks.

This is beautiful .... using simple block design, setting on point, with sashings ... now a masterpiece.

hi mary - for other ideas use google images with the search term 'puss in the corner quilts'
i have often used that block with an alternating block - such as churn dash for some nice (but simple) results.
if you have a quilt design program - such as eq - try using yr blocks and aternating them with other 9 patch type blocks.

Why cut them? these make this top...alternating with a solid square.

Obviously this one uses the light/white in the middle

I made the one above using 8.5" blocks.

I made the one below for my neighbor using 6.5" (before sewing into quilt) blocks

Yes, this is what I would do. This is a gorgeous quilt.

Just lay them out on the floor. You will also need to cut triangles to put along the edge. How long are the sides on the blocks? For example if the blocks are 12 1/2 inches along the side you will need to cut 12 7/8 in. squares to make the triangles out of for the sides. If that seems overwhelming 13 in. might work too and cut those in half diagonally.
