love them as table toppers, wall hangings - have a friend who made a decorative potholder out of hers (not to actually be used though :-D :-D ). The second picture almost looks like a full quilt with all of them hooked together similar to a hexagon quilt. Enjoy figuring it out! they are beautiful!

Thank you everybody. I love going through my stash & making them. I consider them "free" when I do that.

I appreciate all of your suggestions & ideas.

They are just lovely!! Table toppers or a wall hanging just like they are. Pillows......I am sure you will get lots of ideas on the board here.
I haven't made one yet, although years ago I made something similar and used them to cover the big round Cookie Tins. Covered the can with fabric and the top with the folded piece. Made for really nice looking storage tins or for gifts filled with cookies or candy.
I think the dahlias may be a tad big for the tins though.

I still have a tin that I made. I will dig it out and take a pic of it so you can see what that looks like. I think the top is done stapled to a piece of poster board when making it so that it can be hot glued to the top. The sides are also glued to poster board and wrapped around the tin. I will try to remember to get pics of it tomorrow sometime.

I think they are very nice and wish I had the know how to make them. I am a new quilter so I stay with the easy patterns and just do blocks that are simple. Some day I will venture out and do something on a grand scale. I like the other ladies ideas of purses and table toppers. I also think they would look nice as a lap quilt for someone in a wheel chair.

I've seen exactly the same as cushions in a gift shop in France.
