What to do with 8 blocks...?

So, I made these blocks for a quilt and then decided I didn't want to make the quilt. So, I went to Plan B and used them for new valances for the windows.
The colors work great!
Plus, I was supposed to make 12 blocks and only had 8 made...call it lazy(I didn't want to make the other 4) or call it creative...maybe both!!  Anyhow, I have a new look for the windows!  Hope this summer day is treating you all well.
Be Nice to People,
Julie
