I can't bear to throw them away either. Friends I know make miniature quilts with them. Or maybe they would be wonderful "fillers" when you are making a sampler with different size blocks. How about small friendship stars that you put 4 together to make a 4 part friendship star block? Or use them to make potholders or mug rugs. Make a fat quarter by creating your own fabric with them. Alternate them with strips of other fabric to create a doll quilt or placemat. Outside border on a pillow case or the extra strip between the 2 larger pieces of fabric for a pillow case. Use them in a single strip with other fabric from your quilt to make a throw pillow.
