Really love those panels!! You have to do something to keep them all together! What size are they. They would be perfect for decorating in your sewing room if you have wall space to do it. So glad you stopped at that sale!!

I should have read all the posts before I posted...They are small enough you can put them in one quilt. That is great. Like someone said...try to make blocks to match what they show in the pictures of the quilts. How neat that would be!

Wonderful panels! They are so pleasing to look at. I would work them into a red, black & white quilt.

How pretty they are...I would do as previously suggested and copy some blocks from the quilts in the pictures or maybe as it is old world, just an assortment of traditional blocks. You could stick with the black/white/cream theme or maybe use a touch of colour on the surrounding blocks. Lovely find...I am sure she would be pleased they went to a suitable home.

I love your panels!! You could even just frame them and hang them up if no brilliant ideas come to you.

so unique and beautiful

I would say the same thing as sak658
or
put one block right in the center of a quilt and piece a quilt inspired by the one "centered" block
which means making ... 6 different quilts or may be 6 different sections of one larger quilt...
