    You have been given some good ideas. Also if your church has a bazaar or yard sale, you could make a few lap or baby quilts for them to sell. Also if they have a nursery it would be great or make Project Linus quilts for children that need them. Good luck

    I think they would be delightful made into table runners, placemats, and table toppers for Easter. Adults like such prints for special occasions. They don't have to be for babies and children.

    I would make a log cabin. Cut the easter fabric into 1 1/2 inch strips. Then use the light of your choice. You will get pops of color from the Easter fabric.

    You might want to check out this cool idea - and make yourself something useful for all your quilting needs. It would be bright, sunny and cheerful - and a great conversational piece. I sent you a PM as well.

    Make incubator quilts for the NICU units at a local hospital.

    You can cut them up into 1.5 inch pieces and make a log cabin quilt. The colors would make a darling quilt.

    ix them in scrap quilts or cut some for use in I spy quilts, or even make quilts for your local children's hospital.

    I do love the idea of making quilts for our children's hospital. Since I make comfort quilts as my main quilting purpose, this falls right into my reason for quilting.
    We do have a major children's hospital in our area, so I am going to contact them and find out what their requirements are.
    This is my final choice of what to do with the fabric!!! Thank you all so much for the wonderful ideas. I knew I could count on you!!!

    I think I will make up some quilts with all different holiday fabrics in them for the children. I have the Easter, Christmas, Halloween and I'm sure I can come up with some others. Plus I have novelty fabrics I can toss into the mix. LOL, sounds like I'm talking I Spy here. Also one of my favorites!
    Can you tell I'm getting excited now?
