Default tiny squares

In a bag of fabric I received, someone had a Ziploc bag of tiny squares. they are wavy edged
and about 1" square. Does anyone have an idea of what I can do with these? It seems a shame to
throw them out, someone took the time to cut them out. Thanks in advance.

Lynnie-what do you mean by wavy edged?

Potholder maybe?

Definitely a postage stamp quilt! I'm working on two of them right now -- finished squares at one inch.

stuffing for a dog cushion. Sewing idea these small pieces would be useful for applique . Post cards.

Years ago I made a jacket with wavy edged squares. You just undid the side seams on a sweatshirt and spray basted the squares on it and then used some fancy threads and just squiggled all over to make sure and catch some of each square. You could do something similar making it into a wall art piece.

edited to add: my squares were about 3"

You could just leave them raw edged and stitch them onto a white background to look like confetti...

it's not a pinked edge, it's a wavy edge and they are cut at about 1"
soft pastel colors. They are too small for a postage stamp quilt. When
the are sewn they are about 5/8". what were her plans for these?
What would she do with them?
