I'll be watching this for sure - I have some of those large school house blocks from the early 80's that are just laying around, also a red and yellow dresden plate, churn dash, grandmothers flower garden... NOT what I would use anymore, but too hard to just ignore.....What shall we do?

They truly are very beautiful and it would be a shame not to continue on with the project. I'd give it a little more time and if you still think you don't want to finish, I'd make your favorite as the center block for a quilt. I really like the fabric.

How about the center for a round robin?

I agree that they would make lovely table toppers or mini quilts!

They are too pretty to abandon. How about a table runner -- maybe do a couple of rows of sashing between them with something like pinwheels between the rows.
