I used a bunch of them, along with a few zippers and even waistbands in a crazy quilt. I mixed in some colorful bits of silk, lace, wool, and anything that looked good. I stitched the pieces to muslin as a base, leaving raw edges exposed. Added backing in a red handkerchief print, and tied it. No batting.

I also made a pillow out of the top of a pair of jeans, cutting straight across to remove the legs, sewing that shut, sewing across the waistband, buttoned up, then stuffing through the zipper before closing it. Real handy way to keep track of those remotes and such, in the pockets.
