I used some of mine to make microwave bowls for gifts for xmas. The 12 or 13 inch ones are perfect.

I just had to come back and tell you all that I actually DID something with one of my blocks today! http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...t-t186155.html

ok heres a completely off the wall suggestion- donate them to project linus, or a charity, they will love the donation!

I've made snack mats for my grandson. You can make them reversible (uses up 2 or more orphans). I make them about the size of a sheet of typing paper. It is a good size for a child and fits into a manila envelope for mailing. My grandson sometimes wants them put in his lunchbox. I use cotton batting for them.

I saw where someone posted what she called a row quilt. It was a row of 1 pattern & the next row was a different pattern & so on-I'm gonna try that with some of my orphan blocks!

I'd use them for various tote bags, pillows, chair cushions, a bed runner, table runner, a pretty album cover, hot pads/potholders or doll quilts. Lots of little projects. Have a good time with them! :-)
