Those blue strings will look so much better in a different quilt. I think when you were looking at the various block sets that you really do not care for them, or the color wasn't working for you?
Re-purpose them into something you DO like better.
A friend did that on a QOV we were looking at this morning. Someone had put appliqued, too bright yellow stars on a round robin and they absolutely did not work there when the rest of the quilt was oriental themed and subdued prints. BUT they sure looked good on a masculine looking plaid and homespuns quilt!

These poor little things didn't work in my "Orca Bay" - redone into "Orca Bay RED" - and now they don't work in my little placemat.
DeleteI'm sure that they will eventually find a good home - but first I think that they "gotta have friends" - ;))
Oh, crap - now I have that song in my head - ;))
