How about an I Spy quilt?

i bet it came from a dog groomer they often put fabric bandanas on the dogs they groom.
great for scrappy quilts though. it might not even be that noticable that theyre seasonal either in small pieces i once used xmas fabric in a regular quilt and no one realised it but me
cause the pieces were small.

Maybe the person who had these and cut them into bandana size had intended to use them for a head scarf for work.
I worked in a cannery and had many scarfs for seasons.
I have a friend from work and she had a scarf to match every outfit she wore plus more. She had over 300 scarfs of all kinds.
I made myself scarfs from time to time and made some for this friend also.
When she was retiring she had me use some of her favorite scarfs to make a quilt then at her retirement part she had her fellow work mates sign the back of the quilt.
She paid me well for making it.......

Since it sounds like they may have been cut up for bandanas , how about donating them to your local animal shelter or humane society. I managed a shelter for 20 years and put bandanas on all the dogs that got adopted. Good luck!

Make a confetti wall hanging. Go to you tube and look up Alex Anderson with a person instructing this technique.

An I spy quilt would be good with this type of material.

Oh, you mean triangle pieces? Bandana made me think square folded!

Find a solid to match up with the triangle and then piece them all together for an all season scrappy!

Use for a scrappy quilt for charity. They always turn out nice.

You could use the triangle pieces for dogs. Perhaps your local vet would sell them in the office. I know of one lady who made them for an office. Of course, giving them to an Animal Shelter is another great idea.
