Just a little while ago I let some of my grandchildren (young, live far away) pick a square to make a pillow with. They are tickled to have a 'travel' pillow and I'm tickled that they use them!

If you have even size blocks, make them fit each other by adding a strip or strips to increase the size of the smaller block. Makes a nifty looking scrap quilt.

Put sashing on the 2 small ones and join them together for a charity quilt. If too big, make it bigger and join with another one like it and make pillow cases for like hospice patients.

I just love using lg blocks made into a lg potholder. Need them to set hot pans or dishes on the counter or table. Or I save blocks until I get a nice amt & make a Sampler Quilt. They can be a variety of sizes. I think you could also put sev. together & make a Table Runner.

Since I am not so great at FMQ, I intend to use them as practice pieces. :-)

Wow! Thanks for a great link. I hadn't seen her before. I'm a convert.

Looks like one of my creations I use for charity quilts. Her motto must be to save a lot and to not waste anything.

MAKE A SWEATSHIRT JACKET AND USE THOSE ODD BLOCKS DOWN THE SLEEVES, ACROSS THE BACK OR RIGHT SMACK DAB IN FRONT! IF IT'S REALLY UGLY, SEW IT TO THE INSIDE!

offer them up as "pot luck" scraps...if you don't want them, and someone else does---you should be able to come to some sort of an agreement on exchange/payment.
