Help! I have these three crazy quilt blocks...they are about 12 in sq. I am sure I'll never make any more, but I do intend to finish the third one. Any ideas on what I can do with them? Thanks.

I am so wrapped up in regular quilting, having bought a LA etc. I just don't seem to have the time to do this anymore. I really love the embroidery work of CQ, but it seems there are just so many hours in a day. You know you did give me an idea....I might try to work them into a throw. Like the tote bag idea, too. thanks

You could turn then into beautiful doll quilts or center of a table runner...

Put them on point and make a wall hanging.

I have some on going crazy quilt blocks too and have recently bought a LA, so I can totally relate. However, when I travel I like to take my hand work with me. I decided if it takes me 10 years to finish my cq, the it will take me ten years, I will enjoy the journey.

you could make three framed 'pictures' and hang them vertically or horizontally together.

If you could "bring yourself" to do a 4th one, maybe you could use them as corners of a larger quilt. They are beautiful and I like the other ideas, too.
