I have these blocks but am unsure about using them in a quilt! I have 6 of them. They measure 18in x18in. All are indentical. Although they need to be finished so they could be changed up some. Any thoughts on them?

Pretty blocks so far! Perhaps finish them, then make yourself a lap quilt~

I would put them together with sashing, maybe pink, green or rose, and then hand quilt on the blue dotted lines. This would make a very beautiful quilt.

I believe the blue lines should be embroired, looks like someone started and didn't finish.....

they are beautiful. I would probably do a wall hanging so they never get used.

This is what I was thinking. Don't know about color but take a couple squares to the store with you and see what looks good.

Yes, I also think the blue lines are for quilting. I have some similar blocks that were done by my aunt. I'll be watching to see what you do with yours as I'm kind of at a dead end with mine.
