I use many of the orphan or trail run blocks for tote bags. Depending on the block, I will use them folded in half and make a wine bag out of them. Great for a hostess gift (a bit nicer than just handing over a naked bottle of wine!). For blocks that are youngish in fabric or pattern, I will make a tote bag and use it as the gift wrapping for a child's birthday present. I hate buying gift wrap paper, it just seems like such a waste.
