Make it into a toss pillow, or just set it aside. As you accumulate more scraps/ strips make more. Each time you make another 4 put them together into the same size block. At some point you will have enough for a bed sized quilt. Make it & start another one. Since scraps tend to keep ( showing up) it’s nice to have a continuous scrap project going.

I would love it for a table topper or candle mat if it is in your colors. It is very pretty. Welcome.

Ditto. Very pretty blocks. A few more and it’d be a decent size quilt.

You could frame it and use it as a picture. Very pretty.

I would store them until I got enough for a quilt. Your colors are so pretty.

Thank you for your suggestions.

As so many of you have suggested I put it away and add to it as I get more scraps, that’s probably what I’ll do!

I love your fabric choices. To make it bigger, you could cut each block on the diagonal and sew it to a white/neutral matching triangle and it will double the size of your 24" quilt.

Here is an example: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/552324341783263594/

If you would like to see your work, you could make a wall hanging out of it. put it anywhere. I have a quilt hanging in my sewing room. I intend to change it but haven't just yet.
