    I'd cut them apart, hem them, and use them for hankies or bandanas.

    I see all different ideas with this fabric but my favorite are the stack and whack and the "hankie" butterflies.

    Pretty! Stack and whack comes to mind .ooh wait a min....20 yards? Wow...it's pretty enough to just make a quilt from it by a solid border to pick up lighter color from it. And quilt it as is! Then make shams from it for bed.

    Not sure of the size but you might consider some napkins for the dining table?

    My thoughts, too Terri...My Girlfriend gave me a pattern and 6 panels to go with a Jewl Box pattern named "Sea Blossom". If you are creative, you could use that style which is stack n whack but in different shapes to create the blocks. You really need to see the pattern to understand. www.phillipsfiberart.com is her web site.

    If you have 20 yards, you could do whole cloth quilt and cut squares for accents on others or make a lot of charity lap quilts.

    if this were my fabric, I would decide how much of it I wanted to use and sell the rest through this forum. I made a quilt using panels which had a border like log cabin blocks. I only had 12 squares so used them as the outside of the bed top and made 4 log cabin blocks using matching colors to fill the inside of the panels. I used the same matching colors to make wide borders and it fit a queen side bed which my DS and DILl use as their bedspread. I love the design of this fabric.
