We put some together and made lap robes for nursing homes.

They would make nice Ipad cases. Your could use them for the dress form pin cushions. Awallet or credit card case would be pretty. They would make nice knitting needle or crochet hook cases too. Have fun!

My sister and I made a beautiful king size bedspread with samples like these. We just did a patchwork and it turned out very pretty.

If I can manage pictures, here are some bags I have made with upholstery samples. I have also used them to make lap robes for nursing home patients.

Those are so fun to get when people toss samples, piece them together into nice rectangles, put a backing and tie them, with or without batting, and make yourself a cute throw rug ! And I love the above ideas of making bags too, and these would make good strong dog beds/cat rugs too!

You could also sew squares together for a quilt. Since they are heavier than the cotton we use it wouldn't need any batting, just backing.

You could also make so,e neat rug mugs or place mats or make sets.

My friend and I received some of these samples and made a bed caddy to keep your tv. remote, glasses, medicines etc.
We donated them to our church picnic and they sold them for money to run our school system. A flap is made to fit between the box spring and mattress. This anchors it. The pockets hang free.

I put blocks like that into a demin rag quilt. Loved the look. I squared up the block to the narrowest width.

oh i'd make a large quilt showing off those. just cut all the same size and sew. I made pieced blks out of decorator fabrics. I would have preferred some like yours.
