I will applique them. I also have Dresden plate and star blocks that I will do the same way. I will play with them and see what is pleasing. Always open to ideas.

It turned out so nice. So happy you are doing something with them. They will be beautiful whatever you do.

Someone did a lot of work on them. Most are hand stitched. However the blocks got to me I'm glad to being able to finish them.

I would probably applique them on a white square and use a colored sashing and borders.
