I have quite a few practice samples that I've made over the years. They're pretty rough and not presentable on their own. I'm using some of them to cushion between china plates or to wrap delicate items I have stored away. Any ideas for other ways to use them? I'm about to make some baby bibbs and wonder if I could use them inside the bibb instead of the flannel my tutorial calls for.

Bibbs are a good use. Place mats, small totes, hot pads, cut into squares and join using the sashing QAYG method to join into a utility or pet quilt.
Also, if you are still practicing, you can just put another top layer on the sandwich and quilt it again.

We've had some extreme cold lately. Our dog runs through the grove & thick brush chasing rabbits & pheasants. Found one of her lost winter coats with the belly strap ripped off. The next morning I grabbed a rectangle sample I used for fmq practice and quickly sewed it on and just pinned it on. (tonight she came back in with no coat again!)
