A table runner or pillow would be nice.

If you can't decide now, I keep mine in Orphan project blocks and one day it will come to you of what to use it for.

You could mix in some plain blocks to make it bigger- whatever it turns out to be...

A small wallhanging - put them on point like you have in the pic, but move the blue one so it's above the purple and to the left of the pink. Find a a sashing that works and add some setting triangles and borders.

The colors put me in mind of "summer, fall, winter, spring" and that makes me think of a one block wide/four blocks long wall hanging with some embroidery writing the season name under each.

My sister made a really cool sewing machine cover using her orphans. She made it "on the fly" without a pattern and used several different blocks in bright colors. It took her about two hours to put it together.
