    Oh, these are so beautiful why won't you make more? :cry:
    I can see these as 3 gorgeous pillows for a guest room bed, elegant evening clutches for those special occasions. Three makes a odd number for a vest front but perhaps one and a half blocks for each side wowuld work depending on size. Fame each block behind glass to preserve as heirloom pieces. Or just send them to me for a lifetime of loving care. :D :D :D

    These blocks are beautiful and I agree that they do take up a lot of time. I like everyone's ideas too. I just love crazy quilting.

    I'd consider nice pillows on a sofa or bed.

    I have see a beautiful bed runner made from crazy quilt blocks. I love the victorian and shabby chic decor and your blocks are perfect for either. You did a great job making them.

    How about a shadow box to preserve it all?

    I also like the idea of framing them individually. They'd make great gifts like that! Or also making a fourth one and using for the corners of a quilt, if you had a quilt that they could work with...

    You could join them & finish them into a dresser scarf.
