    I absolutely love how they look. You could make an oversized, summery bag with them. Or use them for pillowcase edgings. I'm sure they'll look as pretty to you as they do to me once you get the 2am sleep out of your eyes. Coffee!!! :-)

    Well, there you go! Quilters are so creative....and goodness knows we can take the smallest of pieces & turn it out to something spectacular!

    This is not ridiculous. This is what we do, we quilters. That is why we have so much fabric, so many started projects and so many finished ones to bless someone else with. Go for it! You will like it better than you think. There is always someone who wants it or needs and so many places to donate your works of heart to. And your Avatar pic is SUPER !!!

    A young person would love that. It brings to mind the lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer....surfin, hangin out, etc. I really like what you have done. Keep up the great work and I can't wait to see it finished.

    I like your bag idea. Hmmmm....wheels keep turning...why do I have other projects I really need to work on...this one just keeps calling me back! Who would have ever thought this ugly fabric would keep me in such a creative stew?!?!?! It's international quilt day, I should take the day off to do the creative, right?

    I love the way you have the blocks arranged in the first picture. You could use 9 blocks set on point with sashing and borders for a crib quilt; the extra block could go on the back. The key is choosing the right fabric to frame these blocks -- probably a calm fabric in the right color, shade & intensity.

    You can always donate it to charity if you don't like it
