What about something like a colorwash? Sorry this may nto be the correct term but, lay them out with the darker pins in the center, then go light to the edges. Or along the same line design a heart with the darker ones in the center and lighter on the outside. It would be a very subtle design.

Cute, cute prints. I'm sure you'll find something to do with them. A table runner sounds good. I'm into combining piecing and applique lately, and I think I would make a postage stamp center with appliqued borders.

I love the colors. I recently ordered some this size also but I did it on purpoise. I am collecting enough to make a quilt from the, but do not want to cut all those. Anything you make with them will be great because the variety is wonderful.

I agree totally with Watterstide.......there are so many colorful colors and texture type patterns in them that the white or white on whites would make the quilt burst with beauty plus it would give the eyes a place to rest and enjoy all those beautiful pinks without being overwhelming. Sometimes we feel we have to do so much to a quilt when in reality the simplicity in them makes them stunning.
