Cover ups for the sofa and arm chairs, lots of Christmas ideas, go online and look at etsy to see what is going in small items. My favorite I an iron cover

You could sew them together and make a skirt or vest or both or even a patch work blouse or dress. There are always things to do with leftover fabrics and squares How about putting backing in for doll blankets and donating to a local hospital. Anyway good luck.

If you want to make quilts with a variety of blocks, sizes, etc. there is a great book SMASHING SETS by Margaret J. Miller. I don't know if it is still in print or if she has other books.

I've been thinking about making a new square dance skirt and vest and a vest for my husband, also. What a good place to use some of the left over squares I have in boxes in my closet!

Our local meals on wheels likes to have placemats for each new person so our quilt guild makes them 14 x 18 and you could add borders etc to make them the right size. Use another block for the backing and you would have used two of them.
