    Beautiful, irises are my favorite. Whatever you do with them will be lovely.

    These sound like good ideas. Pot holders too!

    Personally, I think they're way too pretty for a label or bag, etc. How about adding some sashing rows of HST's or something like that and make a wallhanging??

    Very pretty!

    How about a six inch bell pull style wall hanging. Put a couple pieced blocks above , a plain background square between and a couple pieced blocks below. Use colors from the irises.

    I'd put these in a vest. I've used Carol Doak's vest books, and love doing them.
