    I receive these pieces several years ago and just now got to put them together. I only have 9 blocks of the small ones and 10 of the larger blocks and no fabric was given to match these colors, so what can I do with them. Suggestions please and thanks for looking.

    how about making 3 x 3 of the larger ones, use the smaller ones for "cornerstones" between the sashing of the larger blocks. use any color that will look good, but not overtake. use the extra block for a signature block on the back.

    If you disassemble two of the large blocks (basically cut them in half), you can get the following layout. Looked like they were 12" blocks, so this layout would give you a 42" square center and you could add several borders.

    Another vote for Cat's idea. That would make a gorgeous quilt.
