I made a pineapple from nothing but skinny quarters, which are quarter yard pieces cut the long way - 9" x 44". I cut the pieces into 1.5" strips and paper-pieced the blocks. Just separate your fabrics by value.

Yellow Brick Road is a perfect pattern for FQs

Most any pattern for fat 1/4's can be adapted to 1/4 cuts. Yellow brick road would easily adapt.

I make all of my quilts (majority anyway) from quarter yard pieces as that is what I can afford at any one time. The quilts turn out fine, so I suggest you use them to make ordinary blocks - even a sampler - and join them all together in the old fashioned way. Lucky girl!

I love Eleanor Burn's Quick Trip Quilts - easy and fun.

If you want larger pieces from some, then can you cut 8" squares? You can use the leftovers to make 8" comprised of smaller pieces like 4 patches or maybe pinwheels or some star blocks.
If you want to leave them as is, then improvise. Maybe put a border around the rectangles of landscapes and then fill in with different block of various sizes. You could even do a long rectangular wallhanging. I'm contemplating one like that to put over my china cabinet to fill in a bit of space between it's top and the ceiling. |
I think a tumbler or applecore quilt would be a good quilt for those quarter yard pieces. On either of these patterns, you can get templates in various sizes ... Just ask me how I know this!!! Lol.

I like the idea of using the Attic Window pattern. You can cut your focus fabrics to any size you wish to show case them.

I would use the 1/4 yds to make a sampler scrappy quilt and you can use some of those scenes and put a frame around them to make a quilt.
