These are odd shaped strips, 20"x3" at one end and 5" at the other end. I have 70 of these and I really like the colors but don't know what to do with them plus the fact that I am not a scrapy quilter does add to the situation.

Any one have an ideas?

Get some matching fabric and do a rail fence, think that would look so pretty as a rail fence

Sorry didn't see the were oddly shaped, could you cut them down to a usable sized strip, maybe someone else will have some ideas how to use it

create a makeshift rail fence-type with longer strips, also using wonky cut colors that go with your fabric. then square up (or rectangle up!).

I'd maybe cut similarly shaped strips out of black (don't have to be too precise) and pair one colored strip with a black. After sewing, I'd use a template to cut out squares, triangles, rectangles out of the pieced fabric. For example, you could line up a square template with its diagonal line along the seam and cut a perfectly pieced half-square-triangle block out of it.

throw some black strips in there.then rotate the 5" and the 3"? some one here could probably work with them...if you can't.
they are summerish and would make great placemant for outdoor table maybe?

great ideas, I had not thought of these. So glad you are all here to help....thanks

You could make them into a Dresden Plate. :-D

My thought too. Since they are 20" long they would make a very pretty topper for a 40"-48" dinning table, you'd just need a center circle to finish it off. Then machine quilt around the different flowers and do some highlighting inside of them to make them stand out.

Same thought.

This is what I was thinking when you wrote one end was wider than the other. You could also add black inbetween each one, if you tried doing one of these with some, just to see how it would look. Beautiful fabrics!
