I like that block, but then I really like blues. You could do what has been suggested with the white but use yellow and give it a spark of more color. Or alternate the white with yellows or maybe pinks? I love that you are using your friend's blocks and not letting them go to waste or to someone who won't care about them as much as you do. You go girl!

Jenny Penny, is this what you had in mind? I like playing with puzzles. Hope they're not too big

This is all my feeble mind could come up with atm. One has the white on the opposite side to the other, and I think the white would have to be cut at 5x2? to make a square block.
oops, sorry for large pics, thought I had double posted for a minute.

To give you an idea what JenniePenny was trying to explain, here is a picture of the quilt I made our DGD. You could use any color with your blue squares, but mine was done with white. Good luck. I'm glad you will be putting those pretty blocks to good use.
