If the pieces are big enough, you can sew them together and use them for table runners. That's what I have done.

Not cheap...resourceful!
I've sewn bigger pieces together and used them for quick lap quilts that I know are just going to be dragged around the place. Have used them for those that have asked me to make quilts for their cars....you know so they have a blanket to cover up with when they go star gazing? lol

Thank you. I too have a son in the militay, Navy, he is a chief petty officer and has been to Iraq 3x now. Unless you have a son who puts his life on the line for our country it's hard to understand who we are. Bless you and your son. Tell him I'm proud of what and why he does what he does. Thank you
