If these were your scraps...

What would you do with them? They are left over from the Cherry Pop quilt I'm working on and I'd like to use them somehow but I'm not good with ideas for orphan blocks and such things.

The tags don't show well but the first is 8 1/2" wide,
next 3 1/2" wide
then 6" wide
8 1/2" wide
last 6" wide

I know some of you are good with ideas for stuff like this and if so thanks for sharing.

I would trim them down to be the same size and use a similar pattern. You can probably make a table runner.

I would do a pillow that matches the quilt...

Great idea! Or a tote bag to carry it/gift it in?

Take a look at the "Follow up to charity quilt" in the picture section. Your darker strips are not as wide, but you could add another thin strip to compensate and that would tie another color to both blocks.

If you've made a bed quilt, you might consider using these to cover a pillow sham. Or to cover a headboard!

I would go for the bag or pillow to fit quilt in depending on the use of quilt. Or make a pocket on back of quilt to make a quillow.
other than that I would make table topper with the two 81/2" stripes, placemats with the 6" and the final strip would make coasters.

You could use them on the backing if you have not already sandwiched your quilt.

I use left overs on the back!
