extra bits could be used on the back somehow...around the label perhaps. on a matching pillow perhaps if its a bed quilt you're making. on a matching handbag if its a garment from the original block. make a wee handbag for a little girl, they do so love something to carry they goodies in. on a tea cozy, a hotpad, tablerunner or table mat. lots of ways to use up extra blocks. j.

I like the pillowcase idea.

My quilts go to sick children in hospitals, so that would be one more thing the kids could have.

the pillowcase then becomes a carrying bag for the quilt to keep it clean during transit. easier to wash a pillowcase than the whole quilt if it gets dirty during a move. actually you could make the quilt a quillow too perhaps. sorry, not to confuse just thinking outloud on a wet dreary winter day here. j.
