What are these?
I was given some fabric and these were in it. They are made of a very heavy flannel and have 2 layers of fabric on each square so they are very thick. I'm not sure what someone was making, I guess these are the extras. There are 18 plus 4 more squares of just fabric which you see at the bottom of the picture. Each completed piece is 6 1/2" square.
So is there anything I can do with these? I can't imagine sewing them together in the normal way since the corners would have a total of 8 layers of very heavy weight flannel.
Thanks!!

Ah, never made one of those. But there are only 18, must be what's left. If they were regular weight, I'd probably make a table runner out of them. But these are so darn heavy....

When I first learned to make rag quilts, I was taught to sew 2 squares of flannel together across the center and unfold them to yield a 2-layer square with both sides showing the right side of the fabric. I'm sure they were for a rag quilt.
