The local quilt circle I belong to had a block exchange with a Christmas theme in October, 2003. We had to select our block patterns from a list and then made them in our choice of two sizes: 6″ finished or 12″ finished.
As you can see, I grouped sets of four of the 6″ blocks together and alternated those sets with the 12″ blocks. I had four blocks left over, so those became the cornerstones for the border. I machine quilted this with a motif of continuous-line five-pointed stars in a variegated thread — a mistake, since the colors melted into the fabrics. :S The quilt measures 47″ square and was finished at the end of July, 2004.
