    I give them to my granddaughter. She loves to sew them together and recently made a pajama bag out of some of them.

    What a great idea to make a teddy bear or pillow to match a quilt that you give as a gift. What if you stuffed it with the remaining leftovers to repair the quilt later if needed? It would be a kind of time capsule of fabrics!

    I purchased the cloth bags from the grocery store for $1.00 and I am going to use my leftover or missed sizes blocks and sew them on the bags and give as Christmas gifts or put the gift in the bag.

    That would be great for a craft fair item.

    I add a bit here or there, and use it anyway in a quilt.

    Make a utility or charity quilt. Lay all you misc. blocks out into a pleasing setting. Add borders to even out the small blocks, or combine several small blocks to equal the larger blocks.
    Have fun with this project, you will finish up with a cute quilt.
