Need some expert advice. I cleaned out my cedar chest from my Mom's house this weekend and found a little long lost treasure. The quilt blocks in the photo were hand made by my Granny. I'm guessing these were just leftovers because she made both my sister and I quilts before she passed away. This may explain why the colors don't exactly match. I was thinking that maybe I could take these leftovers and set the together and make a small throw size quilt. Kind of set together in an over-sized 9 patch pattern maybe. The blocks are surprisingly large -- approx 18" X 24". But -- here's where I need help --- they are so different I'm not sure what to set them together with. Should I use a solid color or print and could you suggest a color? I have 2 pink ones, 1 red, 1 navy and 1 yellow. Three of them (pink, navy, and yellow) have some gingham print. I would like to do something that will compliment her work and not take away from the doll blocks. Can it even be done? Or if someone has another idea, I would love to hear it as well. I am just so excited by this find and really want to do something with them so they are not just sitting in a box or chest. Thanks in advance for your help! Stacey
