How about something like this: ssw little squares around one large square.. incorporate into quilt or make a pillow if center square is big enough (using 4-6 bigger square blocks) on the little squares, emblish with ribbon, beads, or bright buttons??? place a BIG red bandana covered button in center????? Even if seams does not lay all the way down, they would in time with a childs use of pillow. Maybe use for strap on a bag, or small childs swing bag. Same applies if used in a quilt. take a square add strip on all four sides with your small square acting as corner stones. Maybe ironed seams opened???? I tye all my denim quilts so open seams work. Surley our grandmothers would never toss. hahaha... have fun :)
