One option would be to use it sort of like "cheater" fabric to make a rail fence quilt. I don't know how wide those stripes are, but if, as an example, they're 2", you could cut 6 1/2" blocks (sacrificing 1/4" of the adjacent blocks on either side for your seam allowance). I think I'd select a group of three and make the entire quilt from those, and it looks as if there would be at least enough stripes to make 2 little quilts. If you're not fond of it, it would still make attractive quilts to donate. Another idea would be to cut across the stripes in something like 6" lengths and join them to make a piano key border for a quilt that has similar colors. It would really streamline that project, and look great. Or combine the rail fence idea with the piano keys from the same fabric. 4 meters is a nice amount. If nothing else, it would make an attractive backing for a lap quilt.
