    I'd think they would be a perfect size for making some needle carry cases.They sure are pretty.

    I am making a 2 throws for winter. If it is cotton it will wash well. I usually air dry so it does not shrink or loose its sheen. It is easy to sew on also. Totes, Purses, etc. I have also made from these samples. You can applique some also. The flowers that you use for applique are larger than regular quilters cotton but they are bright and beautiful. Enjoy your new fabric remnants.

    You can also make a quilt for you couch, I made one several years ago and turned out awesome. They work up fast and very warm as well.

    I had some upholstery fabric and I made the suggested tote bags, place mats, etc. But in doing this, I first used it to try out new block patterns and techniques. The result of those trials eventually became the bags and mats.
