that magnolia block is a beautiful way to showcase blocks !
but depends on how big the blocks are. above 6" or so would not look right. if you sash, flower or leaf fabric would look great. what a treasure !!

Be sure and label the quilts as to their history. Your kids will appreciate that somewhere down the line! These are gorgeous.

What a great find! I agree that sashing them in a light green would be very pretty.

Very pretty, nice work on all of the flowers. My favorite is the Iris block, so beautiful!

If they are cured and won't run I probably would sash and qult, but I do like the idea of Rose L who said she would frame them and hang them on the wall. Great idea and they wouldn't ge wet and ruined. I could picture them in every room.
