    What about a bell pull (wall hanging) - line them all up vertically and hang at the top, and have an > pointing down on the bottom?

    Make some more to go with them, maybe different colors and make another quilt. The blocks are very pretty.

    Lay one block on top of the other, make a stack, wrap in plastic, put in a manilla envelope and mail to me!!!!

    I would use them for the border of a pillowcase. I always make pillow cases to match my quilts.
