You could put white borders around them (or black) and then square them up all wonky and make a quilt with hsts randomly spread across...

Here's what I did with some of mine
|
Pair them with neutral colored triangles to make half square triangles and use them in a scrap quilt.
|
Go to Bonnie Hunter's website quiltville.com - she has lots of ideas.

I just finished sewing 143 of them in a small 11 x 13 setting to use as a table runner. Here's a couple of wall sized quilted with leftover HST's[ATTACH=CONFIG]487523[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]487524[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]487525[/ATTACH] And a table runner[ATTACH=CONFIG]487527[/ATTACH] And yes even a miniature (1/2" finished HST)--nothing's too small....[ATTACH=CONFIG]487526[/ATTACH] |
I've used lots of different colored triangles for borders around wallhangings to complement the center. It turns out so nice, it's well worth it.

I use those for leaders and enders. And then you have a ton ogf half square triangles. I then put those together to make pillow covers that match the quilt. Or make a table topper.

I would use them to make the back of the quilt more interesting!

Time to learn about "No Waste Flying Geese" I think if you google that, you may be able to find the directions. Also Eleanore Burns has another method of making flying geese, in which you have a little scrap left, but they are strips, not triangles. Ricky Tims has a one seam method, which uses more fabric, but are very easy, with no waste.
