Black and white(ish) giveaway

Some time ago, I hosted a swap in the scrapquilting forum on delphi which involved blocks made with (in theory) only half-square triangle units. In the end, there were one or two exceptions to this rule, but on the whole it was fairly successful. Each person got to pick her choice of colour for the block she received (all had a cream background, but the other colour could be individualised). I chose black as my colour. Anyway. Although I haven't yet done anything with the blocks per se, I recently did sort through them and lay them out, and decided that I had too many blocks and that a few of them didn't fit in so well with the others due to colour variation or size of the triangles, so I have picked these four to pass along to another home. So you can see what I mean, below is a photo of the rest of the blocks - you can see that one of the ones I am giving away has a much darker background than the others and two have quite large triangles. The Dutchman's Puzzle block has neither of those issues, but what doesn't show in the photo is that there is a brown speck to the black fabric - which is fine, really, but it didn't make sense to have 17 blocks, so in the end it was the 4th one to go. The arrangement below (which I stress, are the blocks I am keeping!) is probably not how the blocks will be laid out in the final version (should I ever get to a final version, lol) but just how they came out of the box.
Anyway, as usual, if you would like to be enterred into the draw for these blocks, simply leave a comment on this post before Sunday.

Are you sure? One of those could be picked apart for corner blocks of the border.

As usual the blocks you are giving away are great! Maybe I'll get lucky again this week.

I like Nellie's idea but would not mind finding a home for four wee blocks here in CT.!
