Looks like an Opportunity not an oops

I really like the idea of a scrappy heart shape. Maybe on a tabletopper or small wall hanging?

Add some white and make a girl baby quilt. 9 patch or irish chain.

Would you sew them together individually like you have them laid out? I have a stack of 2-2 1/2 inch squares leftover from a Lil Twister quilt. All I could think of was Prairie Points.

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.

It will be a great valentine table runner or wallhanging.

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.

you know, i think a simple 4 or 9 patch would be beautiful,with a nice crisp white or white on white fabric...

sometimes simple is better!

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.
