The past month or so I have been getting out the multiple bags of scraps , sorting and ironing them etc. I ran across HUNDREDS of 2x4 inch patches I must have gotten in a scrap box I bought .I have them all pressed and ready to use . I am looking for suggestions how to use them since they are all perfectly cut. I thought about a coin or nine patch , But am open for lots of ideas . They are so small and I am already working on a postage stamp quilt so I want something different .

hmmmm, i'm thinking sort of a falling charm design. add background squares or rectangles to them and place going downward in rows. sort of like they are tossed out and falling randomly.

I think I might sew 2 together, cut in half, resew and trim down for 4 patches?

Good luck and looking forward to seeing what you end up doing!

Maybe use them as starters and enders sewing them end to end. Then use the strips to make something like the jelly roll race quilt.

I would make strips of the rectangles but start every other strip with a half rectangle. Like this:

Lyndaoh. Great idea.

The one Lyndaoh has is a great idea and they would all be different in the rows.
