    I bought a ton of home decor fabric samples at Joanns a few months ago and was organizing my newly created stash and came across these. They are 17" x 17". I thought of making some purses down the road with them. Any other ideas?

    Wall hanging. I have some and I prewashed them and will use them in a rag quilt. The ones I have are 100 percent cotton.

    I have a bunch of fabric samples. I saw where one quilter made a quilt using them. It was very pretty!!

    I am using the tapestry ones I have as well as the upholstery scraps to make things like compact camera bag, bag for laptop charger and cord, etc. The chintz and drapery fabrics I'm using for totes.
    The heavier ones I've used regular lining fabric and no quilting. The totes I've used quilting cottons as lining and pockets. One larger tote I used a Walmart tote for the stiffening and more or less just covered it inside and out. That one I quilted above the pocket area.
