Using Up Orphan Blocks

When I started making table runners last summer, the place I started was looking at orphan blocks.  I had 3 star blocks with gray background fabric.  I think it was a trial for something I was doing in the past.  I simply dug up more of the gray fabric and made some corresponding blocks. 

The border fabric is left over from another project where I wanted that color binding.  The 2.5 inch colored squares were all cut and some of them are quite aged.  Things go together really quickly if the pieces are already cut and one of the blocks is already made.

The background fabric is one of those pretty fabrics that are difficult to use.  One side was metallic and reminded me of a mermaid.  The other side is a batik.  I put the metallic side to the inside.  Pretty, but I still don't know what to do with it.
