OMG>>>gifted....REALLY GIFTED!!! Those are like nothing I've ever seen! Since I can't sew...those just astound me! It would have to be PP for me to have a prayer of doing one even close to those, then in no way could I do all the embellishment that they have.
Now...how to set them? I'd think something very plain and simple to allow the blocks to speak for themselves. I think bandana type fabs...to keep your colors and themes going. I like the curving FG thought mentioned earlier too....
Please let us know what you do and keep posting here! Welcome to the board!

I wish I could help you but, I have never seen these blocks either. If we do have a swap, I want in on it.
The first thing I thought of was the annie and andy fabric placed in between. but, I saw in one of the corners a brown outfit, so, maybe not.

I'm thinking that it needs to be kept simple as the blocks should be the stars. I was also thinking as has been suggested that it seems to have a red, white and blue theme already so follow that. I am a person that loves blocks on point so I would leave them in that orientation. No, never have I seen that pattern before but they are simply a treasure. Keep us in the loop with your progress.

I am so impressed with these blocks! Show us more PLEASE!
The idea about using baby clothing is such a great idea!!
I have seen somefabric recently that was in red and again in blue and they had white stars in a random design. That would look cool.
I think each block needs sashing to define the design and I'd use the opposite colour to sash the blocks. Red dress-blue sashing.
Astounding!!!
