well there are blocks made with 2 1/2 inch squares that are christmas trees,or could make rail fence style with the colors,or make nine patch blks and place them on point to make table runners, etc.

Holiday placemats and a centerpiece to match them.

Use them to frame larger squares of fabrics. I also really love the granny square type blocks, but you would need some multiples of each print you have.

See? Aren't they PRETTY? I think they would be awesome done in Christmas prints, especially small ones.

I just made a tree skirt. Or maybe a table centerpiece.
Enjoy your project.

I think that's what I would do too. Irish Chain is my go to pattern for scraps. Can't wait to see what you end up making, btw!

I'm doing "Piecing the Past" block of the week. I'm cutting a lot of 2 1/2 inch squares.

I like Sunny Skies. I use Missouri Star Quilt tutorial. It is easy to enlarge the quilt size. Plus there is a secondary pattern that pops up!
