what to do with these 6 blocks
#12
I like your layout very much. Maybe some star quilting in the solid blocks. If it were mine I'd use red/white/blue/ varigated thread. It adds alot of texture without being overwhelming. =) Can't wait to see what you come up with.

If you don't wish to turn your blocks into a quilt you could use two of them as a center piece mat and the remaining four for placemats, unless you have Need for six placemats. Another option is two table runners using three blocks in each, or what about a wall hanging. They are nice blocks, so many options. Would love to see your final product. Good luck, and have fun!

Now that I can see a layout I have a suggestion. If you number your blocks top row 1,2,3, 2nd row 45, 3rd row 6,7,8, etc. Now put 1 pieced block in #2, 6, 8, 11, 13, and 17. Use the light color you have for the setting triangles, a dark for the middle solids, and the light color for the center squares. Can't wait to see your finished quilt.

Here are a couple of more ideas, based on some of your suggestions. I think I like the one better with the blocks closer to the center--I think that would look better on a bed. Any more suggestions would be great. I love this group!
