My orphans are kept in an "orphanage" pizza box. I get them out every once in a while and try to put them together for a donation quilt. They look hideous together. All the blocks are very nice by themselves but all the different sizes and colours do not play well together. They are back in their orphanage waiting for inspiration to strike or for them to go to the charilty shop after I'm gone. Whichever comes first.

Just a suggestion... post the in the " free offers and donations" sections on this board. There are lot sof people making charity quilts that would love to have them. Sometime I have seen listings on the request part of the board , then I send mine .

I include them in my Mile-A-Minute quilts. Those quilts have everything but the kitchen sink in them, so nothing really clashes. I also add them on the backs of quilts when the backing fabric is too short. I just join them all in a row with some sashing.

Some I have made into pillows...some that do coordinate I have saved to maybe someday work into a quilt. Some I have put on our guild's "put and take" table if I know I am not going to use them....someone always takes them.
