    .I made them a while ago put them together in a wall hanging , didn't like it and took it apart. I have no idea what to do with them.They are paper pieced and as you can see I flipped 2 when I did it.

    I think they would make either nice pillows or tablerunners. And they are beautiful.

    I can see a table runner or use them in a 4 patch format and use the 4 patch for a center of a quilt and build the quilt around them. 4 candle mats would work too. Lots of possibilities.

    I think a table runner would be great... but you could just keep adding to it and make a lap quilt :)

    Those are really pretty! How about adding a dark sashing (like the centers) and a border or two and making a lap quilt? I'm assuming they are fairly good sized squares????

    I think I'd add a dark leafy print for borders and sashing and make a table runner. If it's the brightness that you don't like you could always tea dye them to tone down the bright. But I like them bright and cheery. You could make the table runner, or placemats or candle mats or use them in a quilt.

    I guess I am odd man out, because I think a blue to finish the design would be wonderful. Then adding a few sashing borders of the flower colors would be my choice.
    By the way they are beautiful and what a lot of work you put into them! It would be a shame to hide them in a drawer.
