you could just send them to your friends on the quilting board and not have to worry about what you will make with them,

They would make facial tissue holders, use fancy trim, makes a beautuful gifts. I think Tipnut has the pattern.

My first thought would be a crazy patch sofa runner. You could probably get away without using batting because of the thickness.

I am thinking placemats, doilies for your dressers or under lamps, or make 3 dimensional blocks that are stuffed and use them for accent pieces. Just a thought...

I like rolls for my marking pencils, and small tools. They would be beautiful out of those

When I go shopping I get lots of compliments on my "Thomas

Kincaid " shopping bags. They are really a conversation piece. Just a thought.

I was given a book of upholstery samples and made a crazy quilt with them. Turned out quite nice, even if I say so myself.

Not the easiest thing with which to work.....it was a challenge and a complete satisification when finished..

just a suggestion..........
