You can make a carrot tablerunner for Easter. Think I saw it online at http://www.allpeoplequilt.com/projec...-runner_1.html

Use it with blues.
Try orange, rose, soft purple, with touches of aqua on a pale yellow background.

Use some of the strips as narrow borders/flanges in other quilts.
Are the wide enough for bindings?

Wow, I think you have a treasure!

Do something for fall. Leaves, pumpkins things like that. Use the orange to its benefit. Maybe even a fruit table runner with little oranges on it.

I do a lot of rainbow Project Linus / Quilts for Kids quilts ~ maybe either do some charity quilts, or do a swap with someone and get the color you want? Oranges are hard to find, I know I am always hunting for them for the stash, and of my well-over-1,000-yard stash, I only have about 2 yards of oranges! (its just not a rainbow without it!)

I would love to swap with you. Orange isn't easy to find around here.

Add them to browns and golds for fall table runners, lap quilts or wallhangings.

Well, I made a small spiderweb for the table and one teardrop strip one for the bed. Had not made much of a dent but tired of it so passed to son and wife who each made a strip quilt and added some fabrics. Meanwhile, I now decide I am now in the mood to make another so am cutting more strips and NOW they tell me the box is comming back to me with more in it than when it started. Hummmmm think it will return on their door step when done.
This reminds me of when my guild had a box, only about 16" square by 3" deep, full of 4" squares, all different fabrics. One of the ladies took it home and started sewing. She brought in quilt after quilt after quilt, made from those squares. All were comfort quilts to be given to local groups. She was so happy to empty that box! But the quilts she made were beautiful.
