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.

this was my first thought as well :D

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!

I think placemats would work.

I wouldn't trim them down. I'd add something to make the small ones as big as the big ones. If you trim them you lose the pattern. I'd find a way to use up the most of it I could. It is a cute design.

You could use them as a trim on a pillow case instead of a sham.

I believe I would fashion a skirt for myself from them. Either that, or seat covers for my new beau's convertible.

I might use Maniac's design but make a tote bag. Or make pillow cases with slate blue solid fabric and use the scraps as the decorative ends.

All suggestions are good, another idea is to save the scrapse for a log cabin quilt. You will get more leftovers and one day you have enough for a quilt

Would make a nice purse and can use a solid color for one side if needed. Keep the pattern simple perhaps in rows.

If I had made a bed quilt, I would make a runner for a nightstand or dresser. I would use the scraps to make kaliedoscopes and would probably have to buy a little coordinating fabric to do this.

I try to make an extra block from every quilt that I make, then when I have enough, I make a quilt out of them..as long as the blocks are square, it doesn't really matter what size they are, you can add borders and combine them, and somehow they all fit, and make a great everyday quilt, with very little effort.
