They make beautiful pillows, especailly with a bit of trim. Also make great handbags since they are stiff enough that you don't need to use interfacing. I made a bunch of pincushions for friends with some of the more girlie prints.

Suggestions on how we can use them?

Thanks for all the good ideas.
When you make dog blankets, is there any special size or regulations when giving them to a shelter? We don't have one here (small town) so we would have to find one in an area town. I think the kids would like to make things for dogs.
Also, the bags and totes are popular with them, so that's a good idea.

Check with the closest shelter and see what sizes they need...at our shelter, they use different sizes depending upon the size of the cage/box, etc. they have them in....
