After much thought I finally realized that the Carolina Crossroads blocks were nine-patches. So I made BIG nine-patches to set between the "Ring" blocks I had put together with leftovers a couple of days ago.
So now I'm looking at it and not too thrilled. I hope getting the RIGHT borders on it will make a terrific difference. It is pretty dark, so I started with a 3/4" light mini-border. It's all sewn. And now I'm kind of stuck for what comes next. This will be a baby or neonatal quilt, so not very much bigger. The big nine-patches are looking HUGE to me.
Therefore I laid it aside and did "thoughtless sewing" for the rest of the afternoon and evening. That is, I put more pieces onto Confetti blocks. And I spent time reading other quilter's blogs.

I like the way the different size nine patches play off each other.
It is looking good, but I think that it needs a little zing to liven it up just a touch. Maybe a red border or a few red appliqued hearts somewhere in those bigger 9 patches?
I agree with Tracey. It looks great to me. It's fun watching what you do with all of your leftover CC blocks.
More great ideas for the mystery 'leftovers'. Congrats :)
