hmmm, wonder what kind of blocks they could have been...LOL
I hope you post what you make with them.

I am making another DLCS, and I made one of the outer blocks, thought it looked okay with the fabrics I used, then started making the other 17 blocks. After I added one of the fabrics (to all 17 blocks) I decided it really didn't look good and decided to rip that log off all 17 blocks. That meant taking several rounds off the 1st block too, but in this case I thought it was worth the effort. Other times I just put the blocks aside or donate them to the guild's car quilt.

Here's what I made --Placemats. I used a decorative blanket stitch for the edges --they turned out quite well. The picture is of one hanging on my closet curtain, so it may look a little strange. One of my sisters loves the pinks and I suspect these will become a b-day present for her next fall.
