Could you use them to make piano key borders? You could also sew together and cut blocks. You could use then together or on different quilts.

Possibly make a string quilt or make blocks and put them on the back of your bargello

Sounds like you need to start a scrap quilt. Look for the Boxes of Strings tutorial on QB.

Sounds like a sting quilt to me. Bonnie Hunter has a neat pattern called Fandango that I thought was a free pattern but I just checked and it is not. If you haven't, do check out the free patterns on Quiltville.com perhaps another pattern will catch you eye.
If you search "Fandango quilt pattern" you will find pictures. It is the one that makes a slight fan, each block going in a different direction either N/S or E/W.
