How much do you have to use? If you have to use a big majority of it then I would use as small a cut as you possibly can without making them tooo small. My mom has said that if you think that your fabric is stilll too ugly then your square is not small enough. My suggestion is to just to make it into a small wall hanging and what is left of it you can put as a small piping or use as the backing, that way you will be the only one that would have to see it if you decided that you just needed to view it again.
