I would also either frame them or make one more and make a wall hanging for over a bed or to display somewhere in your house. They are beautiful. Maybe you need to work on another project right now and go back to them when you have more energy and focus. Just a thought, been there myself.

There doesn't appear to be a deadline on your quilt-to-be.Why not just work on the remainders as a WIP -these are so beautifully done. What a truly slendid quilt they will make when they are all done....

They are indeed, beautiful quilt blocks, but not every block has to go into a bed quilt. After all your hard work, I would make a wallhanging out of one individual block, or put the two together as a larger wallhanging. The fabrics are so pretty and you did a great job on those blocks. Show them off for the world to see.

The schoolhouse block I would quilt and bind as is and put it on my front door for September back to school days. It would also make a nice door hanger for a teacher. The mapleleaf one I would set on point and add to it to make a small quilt or wallhanging. Both are beautiful! They would also look super incorporated into a Red Work quilt.
