    I use them to make pillow shams to match the quilts. That usually takes care of any extras!

    One of our local quilt shops collected a bunch. They are doing a quilt car. Can't wait to see it at The Hanging of The Quilts.

    I would use them in the back of quilts or sew them into a really scrappy quilt.

    A mug rug is a mini quilt, usually 6 inches by 9 inches. It is used to sit your mug of coffee or tea (or whatever you like to drink) with space for your snack: cookies, a muffin, a brownie, a cupcake. Google "mug rug" and you'll find many, many examples, patterns and tutorials.
