These exquisite blocks deserve to be treasured! Framed and hung on your wall, perhaps?

I have some on going crazy quilt blocks too and have recently bought a LA, so I can totally relate. However, when I travel I like to take my hand work with me. I decided if it takes me 10 years to finish my cq, the it will take me ten years, I will enjoy the journey.

And we do have to sit down once in a while!

you could do a bed runner with other non embroidery blocks or frame each of the 3 blocks, add sashing and borders.

My first thought is to frame them. Each is it's own work of art.

Could you add blocks of old hankerchiefs to them and make a small wallhanging?

I am enjoying all of your suggestions!! Giving each one some thought. I just might frame one of them. After seeing the Antiques Road Show the other night, and someone had a framed needlework sampler that an ancestor had made in the 1800's and it is probably worth $30,000 now....might be a good investment for my granddaughter! :)
